South of Moab, Utah on US-191May 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 View from US-191 between Blanding & Moab, Utah
Joyce managed to take a few pictures of our drive between Blanding and Moab on US-191.
Hard caprock is protecting the softer material underneath
Free standing forms such as this never cease to amaze me. How would you like this monolith in your cow pasture?
La Sal Mountains
The La Sal Mountains come into view long before we get to Moab. The La Sal Mountains rise to the east of Moab. Note that they have snow on them.
La Sal Mountains & sandstone bluff
Another view of sandstone cliffs and the La Sal Mountains.
Wilson's Arch
This is Wilson's Arch. We stopped at a pullout on US-191 south of Moab to take this picture. Joe Wilson was a local pioneer who had a cabin nearby. This formation is known as Entrada Sandstone laid down 175-million years ago when this area was covered in huge sand dunes.
