What to do in Moab

[Sombeech]

For Spring Break, it seems a whole bunch of people are going to Moab. I'll probably be down there the latter part of the week myself. I've had a lot of people ask me for advice on what to do in Moab, particularly if you don't have a Jeep or ATV, and you don't have Canyoneering gear.

The popular tourist activities in Moab include

• Arches National Park
• Jeep Safari (participating or spectating)
• Mountain Biking
• Canyoneering
• Whitewater Rafting
• Dead Horse Point
• Hiking to Corona Arch (the famous Arch Rope Swing)
• Wall Street along the Colorado River (Rock Climbing and Petroglyphs)
• Scenic Drives

If it's warm enough, check out this great swimming hole. Even if you don't swim, it's a fun short hike to see the nice little waterfall:

From the trailhead of the above hike, you can look across the creek and watch people attempt Potato Salad Hill:



Biking / Hiking on the Paved Trail just on the North side of town. This begins at the Colorado River, runs along the highway passing the entrance to Arches National Park, and continues up to the turnoff to Dead Horse Point State Park.

On the way up to the Slickrock Bike Trail, or Hell's Revenge Jeep trail, up the Sand Flats road you'll pass Lions Back which is now closed.



Hiking to Corona Arch, maybe you'll see some people swinging on it. Map and directions here: http://www.bogley.com/forum/showthre...a-Arch-in-Moab


Mountain Biking, here are a couple of my videos from the area:

Please post your ideas and Moab Trip Reports here and I'd love to send this thread to my friends for a good reference.

Go up through castle valley onto the la sal mtns and there are some of the best dinosaur tracks I've ever seen up there

Hole in the rock is kinda cool

Golfing

Good fishing and camping off the la sal loop road

--Go visit my old house and make sure my renters aren't trashing the yard.

--Make a stop through Colorado first and then go "hang out" up on sand flats.

--Faux Falls on the south end of the valley are kinda cool to check out.

--Go kick my previous boss in the groinal region

I'll probably be down there in a few days on some Razors hitting some of the technical routes, I'll try to grab some good footage.
