Moab Roadtrip recap

Moab
6/23 Edited to

... Read moreDuring my recent road trip to Moab, Utah, I had the chance to dive deep into what makes this destination so special, especially the world-renowned Arches National Park. Beyond just driving through, visiting each natural sandstone arch and trail provided a unique look at the stunning red rock landscape that defines this region. One memorable moment was spending time near the main area called 200 North, a location popular among locals for its charming vibe and access to hidden adventures. This less crowded area allowed for peaceful exploration away from the busier park entrances. A key tip I discovered is to start early in the morning to avoid crowds and catch the golden hour light, which makes the arches glow spectacularly for photos and peaceful walks. Also, carrying sufficient water and sturdy hiking shoes is a must, as the terrain can be both rocky and uneven. Moab offers more than just the famous arches; the surrounding canyonlands and nearby parks provide endless hiking, biking, and off-road opportunities for adventure lovers. Whether you’re into relaxing scenic drives or challenging outdoor activities, this area has a perfect spot waiting for you. From personal experience, blending popular attractions with lesser-known spots like the 200 North area truly enriches the road trip. It gives a fuller sense of Utah’s natural beauty, culture, and vibrant outdoor lifestyle, making the journey not just about sightseeing but about connecting with the environment and local community.

Utah was a surprise for me, about 200 miles from Glenwood Springs . Moab is a small town located next to two stunning National Parks, Arches National Park , and Canyonlands National Park . Our only mistake was that we didn't spare enough time to hike around. We did a short one and left

One of my favorite stops on our cross country roadtrip was Moab. Even though it was so hot that the pavement was literally melting onto our tires, it was still beautiful. I would love to go back in the winter! #moab #lgbtqtravel #trip #lemon8diarychallenge #travelphotography 🏜️🌵 🧡

Here’s day 2 recap from my roadtrip. We woke up in St. Louis and decided to go to the Gateway arch. The arch is really a staple of the city. My boyfriend had never been before so I suggested it be the first thing we do. We saw the beautiful courthouse which is sadly under construction currently.
