Moab

Summer started with Moab. What an magical fantastic trip! My friends and I had Moab withdrawal for days after.

Linda drove us the 6 hours, and the pictures say it all. Starting with the scenery of the dead trees in the mist we passed on the way, to our camping spot, to 4 wheeling around the switch backs down to Mineral road. It was all so gorgeous!

And having such chilled out friends to be with made it all the better!

I captured some amazing pictures here!!

This is the only place I know of that when I’m there, I feel that all is right with the world. I’ve visited many times and even stayed once for nearly a month. I miss it.

Another of the great destinations for outdoors—hiking, biking, four-wheeling, camping, river rafting / tubing. You can see petroglyphs all over, indian ruins, dinosaur tracks.

It’s an incredibly gorgeous place. Have been many times since first trip in 1998. Every time it is awesome to go. Mostly I go for four wheeling and hiking but that’s enough to experience many of the things Moab has to offer.

Trails for 4×4 range from easy to extreme, pick your poison. Happy to help with any tips. The town itself is a nice tourist town, fun to hang, some good grub and brews to be had, a welcome treat after a long day on the trail.

Camping spots range from superb to superb. :) If you’re into multi day camping & wheeling, try Canyonlands White Rim trail once… it’s not super hard, but amazing cliff views, and a nice remote place. Reserve ahead of time.

I simply fell in love with it. This is the coolest place in America as far as I am concerned.

Moab is probably one of the most beautiful paces on earth. However, just opposite town is an old government mine used for durring the cold war for mining uranium, I believe.

There is a large 200,000 ton pile of radioactive pilings and heavy metals are leeching into the water. That all goes downstream to Vegas’ water supply!

Loved this resort! Stayed here for three nights. Will edit and add more later but the cabins are right on the river, good food, great activities.

It’s always been a dream of mine to hit this mountain bike heaven!

They have a nice Marketplace for a pitstop… other than that I usually just gas up pick up some essential roadtrip items and keep driving

Went offroading and messed up a rental Jeep. Darn. Good italian food place and the Brewery has gooood ribs-best in Utah I’ve had.
