We stopped by motorbus and were able to walk at our own pace, ask questions of Kathy, the home owners and the other attendees. From xeric landscaping to a shady garden, we were able to learn and understand more about the diversity of plants that can thrive n the valley. Special lavender laced desserts were offered at more than one stop as well as refreshing lemonades. The tour ended at the Wine Country Inn where a luncheon was served with accompanying lavender wine. The festival also had a day trip to multiple lavender farms with hands on activities at each stop. A pleasant way to spend a summer day.

Each year around Easter (including Easter weekend itself), the super cool, amazingly beautiful city…read moreof Moab, Utah located just outside of Arches National Park hosts an awesome outdoor off-roading festival which lasts a bit over a week. It's geared towards Jeep lovers, Jeep owners and thrill seekers alike! While many bring their own super tricked out Jeeps which are incredible to see, each one crazier than the next, you can rent one for about $250-$300 a day and participate in the off-roading even if you're not an owner. Registration begins months before the actual event. (See link I posted in listing) I would highly suggest booking your accommodations then too as it's one of the busiest times for the town. My gypsy soul gals and I who stumbled upon this all by a very happy accident were perfectly content with a last minute rad camping spot right next to the rushing Colorado River. Don't fret if you want to head out and participate and don't have accommodations...well, as long as you're the nature loving hippe type, because there's always camping spots available! Pretty scenic ones at that. Our site was a party atmosphere into the wee hours and a whole lot of fun! The off-roading courses are rated 1-5 based on how extreme the particular trail is. You choose the level you feel comfortable with and can change it daily. You won't believe what these Jeeps and Jeep owners can and will do! It's mind-blowing! This event is definitely not for the faint of heart. And I don't even mean just participating...watching is absolutely nerve wracking! Head onto Instagram and hashtag #easterjeepsafari for some crazy videos! Jeeps line up through the main highways in town early in the morning and caravan to their trailhead with other Jeeps. Each group is led by a professional. You do not need to know what your are doing to ride, but you absolutely need to follow directions. It can get pretty scary and super dangerous out there! Lots of flipping. The entire town is buzzing during this event. Everyone is out greeting one another, gearing up, grabbing food and firewood. It's all really, super cool! Like a secret club of some sort. Moab with its vast rugged terrain is THEE perfect place for such an event! It's so bada**! Cruising over red rocks with snow capped mountain in the background. It's so darn picturesque. Perfect weather in Moab this time of year and it is really such an awesome place, unlike too many others. Highly recommend for any adrenaline junkies out there! It seems like a bucket-list kind of thing. I will personally definitely be back! No doubt! Easy to make a whole adventurous trip by hitting up the "Utah Five" (National Parks) afterwards. Awesome times!

They charge $4 for a tiny beer and I didn't even bother to look at the food prices... But... regardless of that, the events in the Grandstand were pretty fun. Granted, hardly anyone even cleared their bull ride, and the one 89 point ride was only based on the fact that no one got that far, so that too was kind of a bummer. Still, it was pretty fun to watch. I will probably go again next year, but make a whole day of it, and go back to my car to eat or drink anything.

It was completely unorganized last year and the children weren't able to ride most of the rides but this year is a joke! The only thing for kids to do are bump and jumps which you can do every day at Banana's. There is nothing for older kids and the food venders were few and far between. I understand that you want to save the cost of carnival rides etc. but if you don't have business you won't make money anyway - doesn't make sense to me.

It was a hodge podge of confusing music, like monster movie type. When we arrived we were treated rudely by a man named Andrew in a straw hat. We came early around 4:30pm to eat our lunch by the river. It was like 500 yards away from the stage. This man would not let us bring our picnic in. It is not worth paying $30.dollars to go to these music venues when they have arrogant and smug people running these festivals. It is better to go on a River Rafting trip and have lunch with the River boat people. They had down to earth attitudes and were extremely intelligent. We really enjoyed this part of Moab.
