Moab is an interesting place. Wells thinks of Moab as a cross between the tourist town of Jackson, Wyoming and Kanab, Arizona. All three places have a harsh and breathtaking beauty surrounding them with tourist based economies. Jackson is congested and trendy so much so that it can be overwhelming while Kanab is much smaller and more laid back. Moab is in the middle. Beyond Arches and Canyonlands National Parks Moab appeals to both the off-roading jeep crowd and the mountain biking crowd. Moab is a mecca for both activities.
Once we secure a campground site we head out to Arches National Park to orient ourselves. Then it’s back to town where we enjoy an outstanding Thai lunch at Arches Thai. Next, it’s back to our campsite and do laundry.
