Arches & Canyonlands Nat'l Parks, & Monument Valley
#11
Went to Moab last Sept. We hauled dirt bikes out. I have to say that when on pavement (for which there were many opportunities), I was wishing I was on an Ultra. The roads were great and the scenery amazing. You can't go wrong on pretty much any paved road in the area. Some paved ends with gravel so if you don't want to do that, be prepared to do an "out and back" instead of a loop. Arches is nice. I would recommend late afternoon/early evening (great light and photo ops/less traffic) unless you want to spend time hiking. That said, my opinion is there is no better way to see the Moab area than off pavement. Fortunately, there are many jeep tours and you can even rent a jeep. That's what I would do next time. If you do that, make sure you do Gemini Bridges and White Rim. Beautiful!
PS - Stayed at Motel 6. Would not repeat. Also, bed bugs have been an issue in many areas. I would do a search on that topic in any area you visit - especially Moab. Just sayin.
This is Monitor/Merrimac. Not Harley friendly.

I've got a document I made that was our agenda and has some distances between destinations. If you would like it, I can send it to you.
