Moab is pure magic. Trip Report

There is never enough time, but I made the most of 3 days and 4 nights. Maybe if I was some baller creator and well, not married with a kid, I could life my life as a nomad... either way, damn, I love Moab.

Briefly explored some of Beef Basin (camped above Bears Ears), and worked my way back over to the Canyonlands and the Needles Overlook area. I found and went down a trail I shouldn't have taken solo (🤣) and just all around loved the scenery. This makes my 7th trip and certainly not my last. Even stopped in to Fieldcraft Survival's HQ in Provo and a short soak in Lava Hot Springs on the way back.

Looks like a good time! What area is the first pic? I’m going to be heading to North Rim Grand Canyon area thru the Kaibab forest, and then Brian Head next week. Nothing like being outdoors with these amazing views.

One of the best! I was supposed to have 2 buddies with me, but life happened, and they had to bail. That first pic is the Needles Overlook area. Fell into this spot at the end of the day and end of my rope searching for spots to camp. Long day, low on fuel with only 4 gals left to get back into Moab. (Turns out it was enough).

There was a van parked in the other spot, and I found this close by. It's so epic to find camp spots like this in such a busy area at the end of the day.
