I need to get to this Park. It is simply amazing! Besides Arches, what else can one do around the Moab area?

There's a ton of stuff to do around Moab, Travel Luver. There's also scenic Canyonlands National Park nearby, well worth exploring. Off-road biking (bicycle, not motorcycle) is extremely popular. Hiking in the cooler seasons. Whitewater rafting is excellent in the summer. And you're less than a day's drive from your next Utah destination, such as Bryce, Zion, or Monument Valley. One of my favorite spots in the US!

That pile of rocks in the top left of the photos looks like it could go down at any minute. Fascinating erosion!

Glad you guys liked the pictures. Indeed, this place impressed us a great deal. Like Karl said it’s like something unreal. Stay tuned, in part II, I will show you what underneath those mountain pinnacles.

Very cool place to visit! With it also being so close to Calgary it can be your main focus of a vacation or just a stop on the way.
