Our last stop in Utah was Moab! I’ve heard so much about this area and was not disappointed. We missed the reopening of Arches National Park by a week (which was disappointing!) but just means I have to return some day!

He studies and I work - love that we can spend this time together

Enjoying the view and shade

Heading back down

And Bow Tie Arch

Colorado River

Jackson has managed to go through several tire tubes! Jason finally found the issue - multiple thorns in his tire!

Since Arches NP was closed, I found this hike close by to Corona and Bow Tie Arches

Trail takes you over these train tracks enclosed by red rock walls

View from Corona Arch - lots of people heading our way on the trail

Bridge over the Colorado River

Long flat stretches

This was Jackson’s favorite hike!

Which took us to Corona Arch

Pool was gorgeous with the back drop of mountains and red rock

Our home for a week

Later that day, we took another hike to a local swimming area

She wanted to do “her work” like I do!

Cables

Starting out

View driving into Moab

This hike was the most technical one we’ve done so far - it included inclines and climbing rocks

Enclosed by red rock walls

More restaurants are opening up - we visited the Moab Brewery and kids enjoyed their root beer floats

Amazing

We had to cross a river five times to get to the swimming area

Grace at the point

Grace’s turn jumping

At the narrow crossing of the dead horse point

View of the canyon

Our final day in Moab and we headed to Dead Horse State Park - the Colorado River once again has cut through this land leaving horseshoe bends

The blue pools in the distance pull water from deep underground and are for evaporating the water leaving salt used for agriculture products

Cool rock stacks line the trail to the point

Jackson getting ready to jump

Less of a swimming area and more of a place for jumping and hanging out

Cooling off

This was a super fun place to explore with the locals

Another day they found a bike track to ride at

She’s off!

J and the kids found a music park to spend time at one afternoon
