Utah really is an amazing state. There is just so much to see. It seems like every corner you turn there is another beautiful canyon or unique rock formation. One National Park or State Park after the other. It's just way too much to see all at once. So I'm really happy we get to spend a lot of time here. And we don't have to rush through everything. The drive today from Monument Valley to Moab was great. We just didn't pick the best weekend to get here. Besides the thunderstorm and rain that the weather forecast predicted, we also picked the busiest weekend to get into town. Supposedly Easter weekend is the annual Jeep Safari. So besides all the mountain bikers, climbers and regular tourists, lots of people with jeeps pour into town. Moab really has an interesting vibe…a colorful mixture of redneck, bohemian and hippies…as Tommy described it. It's pretty dead on. Everybody is super nice though and we feel conformable right away. After having lunch at the Peace Tree Cafe, we decide to venture out and explore. Since the weather is not so good, we opt for a popular short hike to see the Bowtie Arch and Corona Arch. Btw....it's kinda hard to see on the image but that's tiny me in the red shirt underneath the Arch. Just to give you an idea of how big this arch is. The landscape here is really pretty impressive….so we're really dying to get our on bikes and ride some of these famous trails here. Hopefully the weather will be better tomorrow.
