We were in Moab in June, amazing place! We took the Hummer Sunset Tour, simply fabulous, what an experience. We saw Arches, Canyonlands and fantastic starry skies. A beautiful land full of adventure and yet to fulfil promise. We will be back. 🏴❤️🇺🇸
Canyonlands is sooo underrated! I was blown away by it. I went to all of the Mighty Five, but I would love to spend a week in just Canyonlands. It dwarves the other four.
Complete agree that canyonlands is super underrated. It is the most splendid national park I have been to. Not only the overlooks above but also the OHV trail under the canyon, like the white rim trail.
Another state park will open just north of Moab: Utah Raptor state park. Visitor center and other infrastructure is currently under construction. It will be a dinosaur based attraction.
Hello Matt and thank you for this video. Did you or Cheryl hear about Mill Creek Canyon, a wonderful place where you can relax and swim after a hot day spent visiting the parks? I've been there last late August and had a very good time😊 Hi from France !
Any updated plans to do that Chesler Park hike? A vlog of that hike would be cool. I’m tentatively scheduling a trip to the area later this year and hoping to do that hike.
You could spend a week in Moab, but I submit that you don't need that long. You can do justice to it in three days, but four would be better. 1. Arches (go early!) 2. Canyonlands and Dead Horse Point SP - they combine well. Hit Mesa Arch for sunrise. I wouldn't try to combine Arches with Canyonlands in a single day. 3. Miscellaneous other cool stuff around Moab - Hwy 128 scenic drive. Corona Arch. Petroglyphs by the river. Dino tracks. Fisher Towers, other hikes, etc, etc. 4. Optional - slightly out of the way things like Wilson Arch, Needles district, etc. In warm weather, you could do some off-roading or river rafting, etc.
And Powell did it in a wooden boat! Its crazy! Man I desperately wish I could afford ALL of your trip planning guides (sadly disability does not pay that well) im going to get one of these three: Moab, Glacier or Zion. Those are the trips ive been lucky enough to be invited to piggyback with friend who are going inside the next year. While im sure all these guides are amazing could you tell me if one of them is a particular shiny gem? Maybe the one that you think people will benefit the absolute greatest from? I know its like picking a favorite child.... but maybe can you tell me whose the thumb? Love watching all your epic videos, your families amazing. As a child i only remember my dad taking us kids on a trip once, we went to the beach an hour from where we lived then because "mom wants you kids out of the house!" Its so amazing to think of all the memories your kids will have with you guys!
Typically it will be great weather and is a great time to go. Utah schools have fall break around the second or third weekend of October so it could be a bit busy if you go during that weekend. This year fall break is Oct 14-17.
