Moab and vicinity

6 days THERE; not counting travel days. That is all I can do until I retire.

X2 ... That's a lot to cover in six days, even rushing.

I will have 6 days out there in September. I'm going to do the North Rim, Mokee Dugway with Valley of the Gods, and Monument Valley. I plan on taking all the time I need at each spot. I would like to see other things, but I want to throughly enjoy these 3 places without feeling rushed. The only rushing I'm going to do is getting out there and back.

I'm taking the motorhome. I was considering taking my convertible, but traveling by motorhome is so darn convenient. I'm bringing a 225cc dualsport motorcycle for the Dugway and VOG.

JFKMK - there is a lot of good info about off-roading in those areas in the Jeep Wrangler forum if you have time to check that site! Sounds and looks beautiful in those areas, and plan on getting my Jeep out there one day !

Don't focus on what not to miss, accept that as a fact given the time limitation many things will be missed. This forum will grant you a list as long as your arm of things to "not miss."

Research the area, online and at your library. See what speaks to you. Put that on your list and explore it well.

One week would scratch the surface of either of the National Parks right out Moab. One week could be the LaSalle's.

If wheeling or rock crawling is a passion, check into what guide services are operating that time of year... I don't think an airport Rent-A-Car place would allow wheeling with their 4wd suv typical highway vehicles.

In the Moab area, don't miss Mesa arch and the dugway.
bumpy

Gemini Bridges Road, trail head at 191-ends at 313. A little spooky at the start but I did it in a four door one ton truck. There is a small campground on the south side where you can walk/climb on the smooth rock. I dont remeber the name but there is a rock formation at the back that looks like an owl. It's near goony bird rock iirc.

La Sal Mountains. This pic was in late October and the Aspen/poplar were spectacular, your season may vary.
