Leaving Boulder was a little tricky, as we hit some snow on our way out. They ended up closing the road we took later in the day. Luckily we made it through in the morning no problem. It was a little scarey though. It took us a bit to get to Moab, UT, and when we go there and looked at the hostel where we were supposed to camp, we both said, no way! The spot we were to put our tent was covered in red ant hills. So we drove around looking for some place else. There just so happened to be an annual Car Show going on that weekend which made it a little difficult to find a place but we managed. We ended up staying at Moab Valley RV Park. It was pretty nice, with a pool and hot tub. We had a covered tent site, and two sites down we met another couple that was on an even longer 6 month road trip. They were from Maine, and we made pretty good friends with them.
That night after setting up we went to the Moab Brewery for Dinner, since it was too late to start cooking. The next morning we got up and headed to the Arches National Park with Ben and Heather, the couple we met. We hiked with them two different trails, the Devils Garden, and the Delicate Arch, which came out to a little over 10 miles. The trails yeilded sights of over 10 different arches, and plenty of breathe taking scenery. It was amazing, and the weather was perfectly sunny and clear. We got some awesome pictures below of some of the arches. The delicate arch was the coolest, which is the most popular arch, and the one that is on the License Plate for UT.
When we got back we hopped in the pool and hot tub for a bit, to cool off and then relax the muscles. We made steak tips on the grill for dinner, and then hung out with Ben and Heather. It was really nice to meet some people in the same situation as us. We got to trade experiences, and tips, which was really fun. We wish we had more time in Moab, as we really only had one full day, but it was still great. Ben and Heather gave us a few suggestions on things to hit on our way through Arizona, so that is where we are headed next. We hope to see our new friends again soon when we return home. Below are some pictures for our time in Moab, UT.
