Moab Travel Forum

OK, my boyfriend and I are starting to plan a trip: Utah at the end of August. We're planning to be there about a week.

Here's the plan so far: Fly in to Grand Junction and rent a car, drive to Moab, camp/hike in Canyonlands and Arches, other than that... who knows? Rugged wilderness abounds! Maybe Glen Canyon? Could we make it over to the western part of the state to see Capitol Reef, Bryce Canyon and Zion and?

Other things we're interested in: Ancient Native American ruins & pictographs, hot springs, caves. We love anyplace that's good for a photo op, a quick swim, spectacular scenery, or a rewarding hike.

Any suggestions on itinerary or can't miss features?

Has anyone stayed at the Solano Valejo Villas in Moab recently??
Is this a good place for extended stay with families?
Thanks!!

How long does it take to drive from Moab to the Springdale/Zion area? What is the best route? Please suggest any stops along the way. Thanks!

We are a group of families heading to Moab in july 2008. Some families have 6people. We are looking at Pack Creek Ranch, Aarchway Inn, & River Canyon Lodge. Can you comment on suites at these locations or others if you have stayed recently. Make suggestions! Thanks for any advice.

When was this establishment built?

Hey, do you happen to know what year Woody's opened? I'm wondering how long it's been around.

We will be coming to Moab 1st week of August-where can we tent camp showers/shade/quiet-best suggestion

I and my family will be arriving in Moab in 1 week. Should I book tours I want ahead of time? Should I stick with 1 company and get a discount? Is it better to go the the park and take a tour with the Park Guides? Do I need to sign up in advance? Any travel information appreciated.

I have three days that I will be spending in the Moab area towards the end of May. My main focus will be landscape photography, specifically sunrises and sunsets. I've read about the crowds to be expected and realize the further I hike, the less people I will see, but of course, I'm not that crazy about hiking in the dark, either, nor am I camping out. I won't be 4WD'ng it, as I really have no experience doing that. Any small tour groups anyone can recommend that might suit my needs?

Any suggestions on whether I should spend more time in Arches or Canyonlands? Should I see both the Islands in the Sky area as well as Needles in Canyonlands?

How about Goblin Valley? Is it worth the drive?

Thanks for any suggestions.

how is Moab Utah for spring break, Does it get too cold and what should one pack for the month of March?
Thanks

My partner wants a small apartment for our 4 day stay in Moab. I've been here a couple of times so know the area quite well, but does anyone know of any good apartments/condos to rent that I may or may not find on the internet? Thanks, John

My girlfriend and I are going to a wedding in Moab and will have one day beforehand to explore the area. We're driving from Grand Junction, CO, and hope to see some of Utah's beautiful scenery. We would like to see some of Arches and Canyonlands national parks and any suggestions for a scenic drive in that area with maybe a couple of short hikes would be appreciated. Thanks, Dave

Me and a buddy are thinking about a mountain biking trip to Moab in late July and are wondering if the heat is too oppressive at that time of year?
