Rocking But Steady: Moab Camping Trip

We decided to embark on a new adventure while the kids were on Spring Break this year and explore the Moab area. We left the house on Tuesday night after work and drove to the exit for the White Wash Sand Dunes area. Since we weren't exactly sure where we'd camp for the next few days, and it was long after dark by the time we got there, we spent the night about a block or so from I-70. On the morning of the 9th, we scouted the area until we finally found our spot for this trip on the Klondike Bluffs road about 20 miles north of Moab. There were some really fun single track and ATV trails (Sovereign Trail and Salt Wash Trail) in the area that I got to ride on Thursday and Friday Morning. We went to Moab on Wednesday night to see what was going on and we ended up eating dinner in town that night.

On Thursday, after I got back from my really fun morning dirt bike ride, we headed into Arches National park. The kids did extremely well on the 3+ mile round trip hike to Delicate Arch. Even Kase walked the entire way up the hills and back! We had fun on that hike. We also drove to the northern end of the park and then hiked to Landscape Arch taking pics along the way. With a full day of hiking behind us, we went back to camp and Karen cooked some really awesome tacos.

Friday morning started with another trip on the dirt bike in the area. When I got back from the ride, I took Konnor and Kase on four-wheeler rides. Later in the afternoon the entire family went for a short ATV ride up the Klondike Bluffs trail to see the dinosaur tracks. We ate a late lunch and then drove over to Dead Horse point to take in the view. Back at camp, Karen made us a late dinner and we went to bed.

Saturday morning we packed up camp and hit the road to come home. It was a really great trip. Below is a link to the video and some of the pictures we took.
