FUN & SUN - On our way Moab Utah

Today is April 26th, 2018. We left the Nut land of Zion National park and stayed a refreshing five days in Escalante Utah. We hiked over 20 miles of remote BLM land with very few People! We stayed in Green River Utah 2 nights before we arrived in Moab. Geni and I
 arrived in Moab Utah on April 16th. It has been awesome weather here since! We stayed here for ten days last year in September when we finished up in Yellowstone. We liked it then and we still really like the Moab area. It is very popular and busy with mountain bikers, jeepers, hikers, climbers, and all other outdoor types. But the difference is that it is surrounded by a million acres of BLM land to disperse the crowds.
We have been hiking Arches National Park here and yes it is People, People and More People! You can avoid them here however by getting up very early. The park starts getting busy at around 10 AM.
We did hike the 3.5 mile round trip up to delicate arch this year! Last year we tried and there was just so many people on the trail it looked like a line of ants heading up to their ant holes! It was still busy but tolerable. We are now up to 12 miles hiking and still counting, we will leave here on May 2nd after spending two weeks here on the Colorado River.
