Around Moab

Moab is the busiest and largest city we encountered since St. George. We stayed six nights at a very nice RV Park several miles north of Moab. We really appreciated the fact that we were able pitch our tents on grass, a true luxury amongst the sandstone and rocks of southern Utah. The mountain bike culture along with its label as a “Cycling Mecca” gave Moab a youthfulness and edginess due to the people attracted. This along with its close proximity to Canyonlands NP, Arches NP, and the Sierra La Sal Mountains makes it a major attraction to outdoors folks of all types. One can easily spend a month exploring every corner of this region. Six days just gave us a taste of the available activities. We managed to get in several mountain bike rides around Moab, the 15-mile Klondike Buffs ride ending at the northend of Arches NP, and the 1.7-mile Slickrock Practice loop. The latter was an intermediate to advance ride requiring technical skills (which I didn’t have) and a good heart to climb steep mounds. Between the three of us, we were lucky to have only one minor fall, me. We also did a short hike to the Corona and Bow-tie Arches off of Potash Road.
