Moab offers a unique experience to discover many of the red rock country treasures. Nearby amenities include Canyonlands and Arches National Parks, Dead Horse Point State Park, and the Green and Colorado Rivers. With so much to offer, first time visitors may find it overwhelming.
Our trip included short hikes through the national parks, seeking out arches, slot canyons, and river valley views that stretched out to the horizon. A foreign silence seemed to fill the arid landscape, yet the desert was full of life. Spring blossoms doted our paths with radiant reds, yellows, and faint blues that seemed to reflect the clear skies brilliance. Lizards and crows now make home, what was once inhabited by native tribes. Sandstone canvases of primitive art await those willing to put in the leg work, while careful observers may find artifacts of ancient workmanship to appreciate, lying uncovered along their paths.
The balance that maintains this fragile ecosystem is essential here. I am as alien to this world as another planet. Could the silence be the sound of man, absorbed into the landscape like water to dry earth, truly awestruck by the surrounding beauty?
