A first taste of Moab

Barely touched Moab, with a focus on the parks, but such a cool area with much more to explore — on feet, and on wheels, four and two.

If you go

Moab is the basecamp town wedged between Arches and Canyonlands, and it’s a world capital for both mountain biking (Slickrock, Porcupine Rim) and 4×4 (Hell’s Revenge, Fins & Things). You could spend a week here and not repeat a day. Spring and fall are the seasons; midsummer on the slickrock is an oven. We barely scratched it, which is the usual Moab story.
