Well I've never taken the family, every time I've traveled there has been with friends and a bike. I did finally go into Arches N.P. for the first time ever about 6-7 months ago to see what it was all about, and it was cool but I prolly won't do it again unless I am with a date/girl friend/wife.
If you're riding at all, I suggest this....Notice the lights mounted in the top pic?? I stayed out a while on that one
When you're hungry for a good but cheap and filling breakfast go here
Before you go into Moab or before you leave, this joint is right off the exit and if you like jerky, go here (fun photo op to if you like Scooby-Doo)
