There are lots of things to do in Moab, but most the time I am here, I hike in or nearby the National Parks. As a result, I have plenty of posts about different visits to Moab.
This time, however, while I still hiked in order to tire out Annie, it wasn’t the main focus of my camping trip on Willow Springs Road. This trip was organized by friends from Winter Park, and I joined them and several others for a more leisurely experience.
WHEELS UP!
Moab is small town in eastern Utah with close proximity to both Canyonlands National Park and Arches National Park. It attracts many tourists to these parks. In addition, it is an extremely popular base for mountain bikers and off-roaders.

The average precipitation in Moab for May is 0.8 inches of rain…I think I witnessed most of it the last two days. Saturday, however, was simply glorious…sunny with a cool breeze. The weather and weekend invited plenty of visitors to Arches National Park. It required some patience, quick reflexes, and geometry to snap photos of the arches without people in them. I understand wanting to stand beneath the arches to look up in awe, but enjoy them and move on so others can do the same. It seemed like one couple sat down for a picnic in the middle of an arch which left others waiting tirelessly for a photo without them in it!
ON THE ROAD AGAIN!
