We LOVE Moab - been there 5 or 6 times. I hesitate recommending as so much depends on your hiking or driving comfort levels. And we also have a dog so that leaves out hiking with our best friends in the National Parks there.
Couple of hints though. Go to Arches early in the day and late in the day for the best color and shadows. It is amazing.
Evening. Go up to Balanced Rock. And here is the hint. When you get there and everyone is in the lot ooohing and aaahing, you take the dirt road to the left and go up a few hundred yards for a view - and photo - to die for. Check www.LaurenBarbara.com and the Wanderings link for UT and National Parks for what I am talking about. And best friend can go along and stay in the car.
If you can, do the hike to Delicate Arch; it is not that long but kinda steep and can have some slick rock. But just wonderful. Early morning it great. Again, see website. Or at least go to the two view points of it which are not that difficult - evening.
So much to see in Aches and then you have the Canyonlands (Island In The Sky - north end) drive as well. Same link in website.
Can you tell I love the place? ! :-)
Happy New Year!
