The weather app says that it is 106°F today in Moab. Maybe it was the wrong direction to head at this time of year. But, that's where we're at right now. Today was a longish driving day when compared to the last couple at 280 miles. Plus, I had an audio conference this afternoon so I needed a good cell signal. There was a large gap in AT&T coverage along I-70 until Green River, UT. This is the view from our campsite a few miles south of Moab, UT.
We are planning on going into Arches National Park and possibly Canyonlands National Park but probably only during the mornings. Too hot to do much during the afternoon. I've never been to Canyonlands before so that's going to be new. I'm not even sure what there is to see.
One last iPhone picture of the hills across the highway around sunset. Nice colors. It's still 94°F at 8:54pm. Ugh...
Canyonlands is great, check out Shafer's Trail at the very least! Arches is good too but the earlier you're there, the better. Gets crowded this time of year.
ReplyDeleteI'll look for Shafer's Trail. I'm not even sure where the entrance is yet...
Delete+1 what Dom said. Arches is best in the early morning.
ReplyDeleteWe arrived at 8:30 and walked to the double arch and "Windows" across the road. By 10:30, it was 94°F so we just headed for the air conditioned visitors center.
DeleteWow, you two must be roasting in that heat. Thank goodness you have A/C in the RV.
ReplyDeleteIt's hot but due to the low humidity it doesn't feel that bad. Or not as bad as it could be.
DeleteOh so sorry about the heat! But you're right, it's not as bad as humid heat! I hope you enjoyed Canyonlands, and definitely go early!
