From another forum:


My company sent me to Ogden, UT for a Project startup. And on my off day. I rented a jeep from Cliffhanger jeep rental. 2006 Rubicon. Anyhow. My wife and I made it to Lions Back. and the family who USED to own it were cleaning out the buildings at the base of lions back. They said some guy bought it and was gonna build condo's at the Base next to it. Come Monday morning they were PERMENTLY blocking off the entrance to Lions Back.
I know Lions Back is not an extreme trail? But, it is kinda a ICON of Moab.
I climbed it twice during the day and once on my way back at night.
Just thought it was kinda sad to see it end. Glad I got to do it before it was gone.

First Paragon in PA and now Lion's Back...it does suck.  Lion's Back was on to do list, but being on the East Coast I was planning on going out there next year.

Although it's somewhat dramatic, here's quite an interesting video of a firsthand experience of one's attempt at Lion's Back.

It LOOKS fun, but not sure if I would ever have the courage to attempt something like that.  Too bad it's closing down for all the adventerous types though.  Even sadder is the ugly developmental building that is sure to begin here.
