MOAB, UTAH GETAWAY

A getaway out of town seemed in order so Cindy and I decided to go to Moab, Utah to visit Arches and Canyonland National Parks. It turned out to be a great decision.

It is a 7 hour drive from here west over the mountains. We drove through slushy conditions in the mountains in to a beautiful day driving through some beautiful country.

We got there around 4pm and decided to right to Arches National Park 5 miles or so from Moab.

They were rappelling down the side.





The next day was supposed to be windy and overcast but was not bad at all. We spent a number of hours in Canyonlands NP. It looks very much like the Grand Canyon. It was a great day.










On the weekend Moab filled up with bikers, hikers, people in jeeps and ATVs plus some RVs. The place was bustling. We visited some shops and just enjoyed ourselves.

Our trip home was great. We left warm sunny skies and around Vail, CO ran into snow and cold which was the case when we arrived home.

We had a nice getaway.
