The arches are just mind blowing and you get the wow effect. We did a couple of the longer hikes to get a better look. I would say that the Park Avenue trail was the hardest for me although I think it was listed as moderate. ‍ About 3 miles round trip. Many steps down and not much shade, it was warm out. The next day we went to Landscape Arch first. We were told it is a must see but that the hike to it was considered difficult. Well no it wasn't difficult at all. I would consider it moderate. The trail had smooth gravel which made it easy to navigate. It was not quite 3 miles round trip. So glad we did it because the arch is just amazing. The longest natural arch in the world.

Stunning! Absolutely stunning!…read moreI've traveled on four continents and this is easily one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. Park Avenue was my favorite, then the Delicate Arch, but holy heavens, around literally every turn there was another absolute stunner of a view. I took easily 100 pictures during my relatively short time in the park. Then, when you drive back out, you see all the same stunning views, but at different angles, and you experience those things in a brand new way. This was easily the highlight of my 3,600 mile, 12-day, 9-state road trip. You have to come here, it is nearly unbelievable how beautiful it is. You have to experience it for yourself. Absolutely one of the most beautiful places in the US, without question!

Grandstaff Canyon is one of several hikes close to Moab that are recommended by multiple…read moreguidebooks, so be prepared to share the trail with others. Regardless, it is good for a half-day adventure, especially in warmer months. Being on BLM land, there's no entrance fee. It's also dog-friendly, so you'll see plenty of pups on the hike, usually sopping wet and happy. (But maybe don't go out of your way to pet them in late spring, when there's also plenty of poison ivy along the trail). The hike is about 5 miles total (round trip) that ends in Morning Glory natural bridge, which turns out NOT to be an arch. (Natural bridges form primarily from the flow of a stream, whereas natural arches are typically a combo of wind and water). Over half of the hike is fairly flat, along a beautiful, bucolic, wooded valley surrounded by high sandstone cliffs. The trail crosses and re-crosses a clear, burbling stream punctuated by quiet pools and mini falls. We found plenty of spots to pull off the trail and enjoy the beauty, and I stopped to dip my toes in at one point. If you continue on beyond this flatter section, there's a gentle uphill grade, some on open sandstone, to get to the rear of the canyon. The reward for this extra effort is the stunning natural bridge, which in hot weather can provide a cool, shady respite before retracing your steps back to the trailhead. Due to extreme popularity, and the small lot, parking can be a pain here. Coming from Moab, we just continued past the lot for a hundred yards or so, turned left, and parked in the large, raised dirt area on the Colorado River side of the road. There were plenty of spots, and it was a short walk back to the trailhead.

Old City Park is awesome! It's a few miles out from the part of Moab that everyone visits (all the…read morehotels and restaurants), but well worth the 10-15 minute drive. The course is a full 18 holes in a very nice park that includes nice picnicking spots and a duck pond. Each hole has a beautifully made sign that includes the hole length, par, a tip for how to approach it, a Google Earth map of the tee and line to the hole, and a local sponsor. These are easily some of the better signs I've seen while playing and it made it very easy for us to go as first timers to the course. We had no problem locating baskets, the next holes, and everything else. Some of the further off baskets have awesome flags attached to the top so that you can see them from anywhere you're throwing. It made for some nice, relaxing disc golf. The course is sandy with quite a bit of trees and bushes. There is a good variety to the holes, lots of tricky shots, and lots of chances for your disc to get lost. Hole 7 was a bad one for me in particular. You start at the top of the hill and are throwing down to a basket around a corner you can't see. You are probably 50+ feet above where the basket it and the basket is 375 feet away. These kind of shots are tricky because of how the disc floats to the left when you're so high up above the ground. I landed 2 discs in the trees and had to spend quite a bit of time hunting them down, a third disc landed over in the fenced off area to the right (a watershed), but I managed to safely get it. Overall this is a great course to stop by and try out. Make sure you bring water as well, because it is always hot in Moab. This was a perfect spot for a round on our way out to play Base Camp.

Also, each tee box has a topo and hole description so that you know where to aim for those juniper - hid baskets. The course is easy to find. It's a few miles south of town off spanish trail Rd. Being it's a desert, expect heavy sage brush and a handful of junipers. All of the holes are par 3, but they lean on the longer side. So, make sure to bring a good driver and know how to use it. Nothing was terribly technical, you just need to throw the distance. Hole 16, I recall?, does have a gully off to the left (topo at tee box forewarns you). Don't underestimate it like I did. It's a good twenty foot ditch with water and steep edges. You can't see it from the tee box, but landing a disc there is a pain. If you brought disc golfs, this course makes for a great rest day activity.
