Arrived in Moab last night around 5 pm. Place looks a little shabby with a lot of run down overpriced accommodation but we did not come here for resort living. We came for what is supposed to be some of the most spectacular hiking in the U.S. We were not disappointed!
Got and travelled the short distance to The Arches National Park. What a cool place as Mother Nature never ceases to amaze us. The hikes are easy to moderate for experience hikers and is very manageable for beginners who enjoy a long walk. We hiked quite a few different trails and after 7 hours we were ready to call it a day. After a romantic dinner at Denny's, we were ready to hit the hay and get ready for another big day of hiking at The Canyonlands National Park. We want to get an early start as we have a 6-7 hour drive to Phoenix after the hike.
