Discover the enchantment of Moab's breathtaking National Parks.
The little hamlet of Moab serves as the starting point for some of the Southwest of the United States' most breathtaking scenery. This region of America is made up of old canyons, enormous rock formations, and gushing rivers where the elements have long since eroded the ground. Put on your walking shoes and visit Canyonlands National Park, where the Green River joins the Colorado, and Arches National Park, which is home to more than 2,000 arches. After hiking through the desert for a few days, visit the artistic town of Moab or take in the sunset from your resort on the Colorado River.

You'll have some time to freshen up at the motel once we get there before we continue on
