Moab, Utah...
















Wow, where to begin. I would've posted earlier, but our Internet wasn't working so great in Moab. Moab is exactly what I wanted to experience in terms of desert landscape. The red rock and arched were amazing! Saturday we went to Arches National Park to see the arches and do some hiking. The hike up to Delicate Arch was beautiful and well worth the steep climb up a rock face.

Moab is famous for off-roading and mountain biking. We camped in the Sand Flats which had incredible panoramic views all around--it was by far the most beautiful campsite yet! On Sunday, we decided to do what seemed very popular in this area--off-roading! We rented a beefed up Jeep Wrangler and tore ass on Potash trail, but we didn't realize that we would have to literally drive up a canyon on a small winding road--that was a terrifying 30 minutes for me. But the view once we reached the top of Canyonland Park was worth it!

We planned on hitting the famed SlickRock Mountain biking trail afterwards, but we didn't even make it to the practice loop after realizing that this trail was for hard core mountain bikers. Both Zach and I are a bit clumsy and did not feel like falling and sliding down 50 ft. of rock...ouch. So we thought it best to go back to the campsite and exercise our left and right arms...drinking beers.

I hope you enjoyed all the pictures, we couldn't take enough at this beautiful place.
