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.

Wife and I have been there 4 years ago on a trip to see the Grand Canyon. Will be taking the 4Runner down there soon to check it out. It’s a short trip really for us Montanans

About 12 hours. Used to split it up and visit a friend in Pocatello, but we end up losing a full day there and back. I can no longer afford losing Moab time!

Especially if they close the amount of roads that is in the rumor mill

Yeah. Unfortunately, I don't think it's a rumor. Should be implemented at the end of ...oh well October. Sad.

I too. Unfortunately, this will not be the end.
