Another Time on the ALCAN - 7. Moab, UT & The Arches

Monday & Tuesday , October 5 & 6 - Drove 198 Miles Today, arriving in Moab, UT. Who ever heard of Moab? We left Provo early, at 10AM, taking I-15 a few miles south and then connecting with Highway US 6 that took us through the Wasach Mountains. The terrain leveled off after we passed through Price, UT. We left Hwy 6 at Green River, picking up I-70 and heading east to US 191, fifty miles south and we were in Moab. Who ever hear of Moab?

We had never heard of Moab, or The Arches National Park or The CanyonLands National Park. Yes, we had seen photos of the Arches, and there are more that 2000 of them in the Park, but we never knew where the photos originated. Moab is a neat little tourist town in the center of it all. After settling on an RV park, we decided to take an extra day and look at the Arches - a high point of our travel. Moonshine was not allowed on the trails, so she had to be happy with numerous short walks in the parking lots - besides, she cann't walk to far anymore, and a couple of the shorter trails tested the two of us.
