In Moab, I went right to Arches National Park. There, I hiked in areas that I hadn’t been before. Delicate Arch and trail was one.

The hike was roughly 45 minutes each way. The Delicate Arch was the big payoff and well worth it.

I’m getting use ledges on this trip.

I didn’t stick around for the sunset but I thought the hike was well worth it.

Here’s a link to a neat 360 view of virtual reality picture of Delicate Arch.

After leaving Zion I heading to Capitol Reef National Park. There I met up with JP Pellet, a fellow biker I met in Zion.

JP was from Alaska, so he handled the cold much better than I.

Capitol Reef has alot of offer. I might head back there tomorrow to see a bit more. I had a reservation at a Moab campground so I could only stay overnight. I did get these pictures on a short walk in the morning.

While heading out of Capitol Reef, JP and I stopped by some petroglyphs.

I didn’t get any pictures but fall was in full color along the roads heading out of Capitol Reef. I’m inclined to head back that way.

Me buried in my sleeping bag in 28 degree weather last night.  Say it with me…”BRRRRR”

Decided to stay in Moab today because I took too long to pack my bike.  NOT CAMPING TONIGHT.  Need a break.  Cheapest motel I could find was $50 though.  I hope it isn’t a pigsty.
