Arches National Park Moab, Utah

Arches National Park Moab, Utah

May 21, 2007.

There are multiple commercial campgrounds in Moab. All of them appear to be good or at least adequate------no slums anyway. We decided to stay in OK RV-Park & Canyonlands Stables 3310 Spanish Valley Drive 435-259-1400 because it was a PPA park thus 1/2 price. Even at half price it was $15.50 per-night for FHU with 30/30 amps and cable included. Most RV-Parks in the area are going to be around $25 plus a stiff tax. This park had some shade so we picked it but the nice Spanish Trail RV-Park has nice shade as well and both are within a mile of each other. All of the parks in Moab appear to have gravel interior roads and sites.

This canyon wall has multiple layers of sediments that should be easy to identify.

This view is from a mile or so inside Arches National Park looking the to the northwest. That is the visitors center and US-191 heading north along the fault line that created the valley Moab and US-191 are now occupying.
