Moab, Utah GeologyMay 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.

Camping Club Entrada Sandstone fin
This is a fin of that same Entrada Sandstone. This may one day become an arch if by chance a hole develops in the fin.
South of Moab on US-191
I just had to throw this picture in. This fellow on his bicycle was riding in front of me as we followed the "follow-me" vehicle through this construction. You can see the follow me vehicle in front of the 18-wheeler. There was about 7-miles of this construction where US-191 was limited to one lane. When the "follow-me" truck got to the end he was surprised to realize that the convoy of vehicles that were supposed to be following him were actually stuck in "traffic" behind this dude on his bicycle pulling a two wheel wagon. By the time we got to the end of this construction we were out of sight of the 18-wheeler and that follow me truck. Oh, by the way, it wasn't just me that this fellow was holding up. There was about a mile of traffic backed up behind me. Plus all the vehicles coming in the other direction on US-191 that were waiting for our convoy of vehicles to clear so they could use this side of the road. It is occasions like this that I begin to think that public whippings might be in order. OK, I will get off my soap box.
Hole N The Rock
We have been by this attraction on US-191 south of Moab several times but have never stopped. Someone please let me know if we are missing anything.
Mesa
This mesa and valley scene is so typical of southern Utah.
Moab fault as seen from US-191 south of Moab, Utah
When you see this formation rise on the west side of US-191 you know that you are on the outskirts of Moab. Moab sits on a fault line where this side of the fault has fallen and now makes up the valley. US-191 runs up and down the fault line in the valley. The cliff you see has been uplifted along the fault line creating that steep cliff, while the valley we are in has dropped.
