Moab (where we will stay for two nights at the Best Western Canyonlands Inn) is conveniently located between Arches National Park and Canyonlands National Park. We reach Moab at 7:45pm after travelling a route from Bryce Canyon that includes a section of unpaved road in a very isolated area, but we are rewarded with some magnificent scenery, included the distant buttes of Capitol Reef National Park. After settling into the very comfortable rooms at the Best Western, we eat simply but fillingly at the Moab Diner.

 

Day 13 is spent viewing the amazing sights of Arches National Park

We begin the steep climb to the highlight of the park: Delicate Arch
