    Moab

    May 6 in the United States

    Am Tag an dem es am Morgen noch schneite, hagelte es abends in Moab. Wir konnten das Gewitter beim Abendessen verfolgen und den anderen Touristen beim "Wasserbad" zuschauen. :-)
    4 Nächte verbrachten wir in Moab, man könnte auch ohne weiteres 2 Wochen daraus machen. Doch Moab ist teuer, vor allem die Unterkünfte und all die möglichen Aktivitäten. Da wir uns aufs Wandern beschränkten, hielten sich die Ausgaben in Grenzen. Denn neben den beiden bekannten Nationalparks "Arches" und "Canyonlands" gibt es noch weitere, weniger frequentierte schöne Wanderziele. Die Namen dazu erfährt ihr bei den Fotos. Wir genossen die 4 Tage sehr, auch dass man sich abends zu Fuss auf Futtersuche machen konnte. ;-)Read more

    Arches National Park

    April 29 in the United States

    We left the apartment just after 9am, final destination Moab, Utah with a stop at Arches National Park.

    Moab was not originally on our itinerary but after hearing about it and the 2 national parks in the area, we decided to do 1 less night at Mesa Verde and have one night in Moab to be able to visit Arches National Park and Canyon lands National Park. Elisa really wanted to do a jet boat tour on the Colorado River but no tour company would take anyone under 4 years.

    The park was busy and even had it's own radio station. We were able to do a scenic drive through the national park but we also did 3 hikes.

    The hikes were relatively easy and less than a mile. Brandon did great. Sand dunes arch was our favourite as the sand was fun to walk in.

    Brandon received his junior ranger badge and to get this one he had to sit for 10 minutes and just listen to the environment, and he did it.

    That night we made it to the Moab KOA about 5pm, put up tent and blow up beds and was at the Moab brewery for dinner by 630. The brewery was busy and we had a nice dinner.    Read more

    Trek America - Vernal to Moab

    May 22, 2015 in the United States

    We drove south through Utah (taking a detour into Colorado so to add another state to our list of those visited) to Moab, which would be our base for exploring the Arches National Park and a stepping stone to the Monument Valley. The scenery changed again and even more dramatically as we left the dusty plains and entered canyons of towering red rock, which we seems to squeeze through. Moab is a major centre for mountain biking and off-road culture and with this weekend being Memorial Weekend in the US (think a Bank Holiday weekend and Remembrance Sunday combined) the road through town was streaming with off-road vehicles in various states of cleanliness as well as vehicles strapped with and towing mountain bikes.

    After setting up camp we had a few hours to ourselves (which we used to explore Moab and give this blog a much needed update) before heading out to the Arches National Park to view the Delicate Arch at sunset. After an hour’s hike up and over sandstone boulders and cornering a walkway hewn out of the rock face we came to the Delicate Arch. The arch starred back at us across a gaping amiptheatre of smooth red sandstone. On one side of the crescent walkway was a sheer drop whilst on the other was a steep slope to a floor 20 or more metres below. The arch itself stands 20 metres high and the scale is truly felt by watching others make their way around to stand underneath it. The sun began to set behind us and the light reflected against the sandstone to highlight its many red and orange shades.
    Unfortunately the sun was not to last as thunder clouds moved in and lighting began to strike in the distance. As dramatic as this was, the wind began to howl around the amphitheatre, buffering us like the warning of an angry god. With actually sunset still some hour away we decided to begin our descent for safety. Darkness descended as we returned to our van and back to camp. For a while the van was silent as we looked out the windows and contemplated what we had seen.    Read more

    Moab

    April 3, 2015 in the United States

    As we reach the outskirts of Moab we see the first of the famous red rock arches right next to the road . We have just 2 nights at the beautiful Sunflower Inn B & B which is an oasis of quite compared to what is an extremely busy town which is overrun with 4 by 4s. We arrive to find all restaurants are fully booked so we borrow a toaster and cook up some toast and various leftovers !

    Über Capitol Reef zum Arches NP

    August 26, 2017 in the United States

    Von Torrey aus, wo wir die letzte Nacht verbrachten, ging's zunächst zum Capitol Reef, wo Sundace Kid und Butch Cassidy Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts ihr Unwesen trieben. In den Bergen des heutigen Nationalparks versteckten sie sich vor den Gesetzeshütern und wenn man die Täler und Hügel dort sieht, dann weiß man auch warum sie diesen Teil der Staaten dazu auserkoren hatten.
    Unser Weg führte uns weiter zum Arche NP. Hier haben wir Zeit und Raum vergessen und uns den unfassbar schönen Gesteinsformationen, Bridges und Windows hingegeben. Auch hier waren wir, wie schon öfters in diesem weiten Land, überwältigt von dieser faszinierenden Schönheit, die dieses Land zu bieten hat. Allerdings wird einem auf dem Weg in diese wundervollen Landschaften auch bewusst, dass dazwischen oftmals nur karges, graues Land liegt, hier, so sind wir uns einig, möchte keiner von uns tatsächlich leben. Aber wie sagt man so schön: "Der Weg ist das Ziel!"
    Am eindrucksvollsten war, wie sollte es anders sein, der Balanced Rock für uns. Unglaublich und mächtig prangt er hoch über einem, wenn man sich in seiner Nähe, bzw. direkt unter ihm befindet und man fragt sich allen Ernstes, wie dieses Naturdenkmal bereits über Jahrtausende Bestand haben konnte, glaubt man doch er könnte in jeder Sekunde von seiner Säule brechen und in die Tiefe stürzen....

    An diesem Tag schliefen wir in Moab, meine Tochter und ich ließen den Tag im Whirlpool des Red Stone Inn noch einmal Revue passieren und freuten uns, seit Tagen wieder mal auf ein Zimmer ganz für uns alleine. In Gedanken und voller Erwartung auf den kommenden Tag, schliefen wir irgendwann ein.    Read more
