Awesome video!! We went to Moab about 20 and 30 years ago and stayed at Bowen Motel both times!! We went to Arches and Canyonlands. I really liked Arches but I loved Canyonlands!! It was just breathtakingly beautiful!! Planning was more difficult back then! You make it so much easier!!😊

I went in January 2024 and it was great! Hardly anyone was there (compared to summer) and everything was open. I definitely recommend the shoulder/off season!

We flew into Grand Junction in May and it was an easy 90 minute drive to Moab. Loved all of the parks in that area!

Thanks for lodging advice in Green River. I just booked River Terrace for 5 nights in July. Love your helpful, interesting, info-filled videos!!!

As a moab local - I just have so much to say.... So much!!!

My son and I opted for cheaper lodging and stayed at the River Terrace Green River last year and loved it. The AMAZING free breakfast helps you overlook the dated decor. lol
We also had no problems finding affordable great food in Green River despite the town being a bit run down.
Planning for that trip the Utah big 5 was how I found your channel!

The La Sal mountains are so overlooked! I stayed in a beautiful cabin in La Sal when I went to Arches and Canyonlands in April. The cabin was 3 bedrooms and slept 6 for only $150 a night! It was easy access to the Needles district and Moab/Arches.

This video was super helpful. We're in Georgia and so unfamiliar with this area, but trying to plan a trip for next year.

We were lucky enough to Roadtrip through the Rockies from Denver and into Utah last month, your videos were so helpful in our planning! We LOVED Moab along with Arches and Canyonlands, as non hikers we still felt we saw so much. We also really enjoyed taking a UTV tour from Moab to sliprock, I've never driven offroad before and loved it so much. We stayed in at the amazing Sunflower Inn at Moab - not cheap but so worth it. The tip to stay off Main Street was on one of your earlier videos we'd watched so we took notice of this! That road is so busy all day and night!

I flew right into the airport outside of Moab earlier this month, Canyonlands Field Airport. Very small, but super convenient.

We visited Moab early June. Our jeep tour guide suggested taking 128 on our way to Rocky Mountain National Park. It was an awesome drive along the Colorado River, a must do!

I bought your guide on moab, canyonlands, and arches a couple weeks ago. really enjoyed it. We are going there in October.

I know people that have a campground down there in Bluff Utah. It looks wonderful.

Hey, I am planning for a family trip during next April and got to know your channel. I love your contents and they are really useful. We will be me, my husband, our 2 early teenies and my parents. I would be very happy if you can share how you organize your roadtrips as a big family. Packing, loading the car, is it comfortable to sit at the back row.. we reserved Chevy Suburban and we will come from Europe… breakfast options, supermarkets, etc…. Please share your travel story in that perspective. would highly appreciate!

Took Amtrak to Grand Junction then rental car 🚘 to Moab worked perfect!

Thank you for making these videos! We’re doing an epic 2 and bit week road trip from Ontario Canada. I’m using these videos to make a condensed itinerary for each area to cover as much as we can. Very interested to see how hot it will still be the third week of September when we’re there in Moab. Really enjoy the videos

Oh man! I was literally looking for exactly this!! Thanks a lot

[zacharymusser]

I am going for the 2nd & 3rd week of June. 2 weeks total. Would be my 1st time going. I booked an AirBnB in Thomas Springs
