Our stay at Devils Garden Campground was for three days, but there was still more that we wanted to see in Arches National Park as well as other areas. On our 2007 trip, we had stayed 3 nights at the KOA southeast of Moab. This time, we decided to stay there again for four nights, extending our time in the area out to a full week. Driving distance was just 28.6 miles from Devils Garden to the KOA – the shortest distance between campgrounds we’ve done since September 2009.
Moab is the county seat for Grand County, which takes its name for the original name of the Colorado River, which runs north and west of town. The town’s population is around 5,000, with an economy largely based on tourism and outdoor adventure activities.

We hadn’t quite reached our furthest distance away from home. At this point, we still had about a week left in Utah before heading into Arizona.

I am enjoying the travel to Moab, my son in law often talks about a visit there in his carefree and single days. I also look forward to Arizona, Elly goes there at times for work. I see several place names I recognise marked on your map.
Moab would be a wonderful place to visit for the young and/or single. There are certainly adventures to be had. Our adventures are generally limited to moderately easy trails.
He went with a bunch of lads off-roading.
HI Mike .. another fascinating look .. the town does look interesting .. I like those ‘decorations’ on the lamp posts .. and filigree around .. the Park too looks gorgeous .. those colours ..
Enjoyed this – cheers Hilary
Thanks. The day most of these pictures were taken was Karen’s birthday. We had gone out to eat at the Italian place that’s in some of the pictures and I noticed the lamp post on the corner and the decorations. Then, as we walked around town afterward, I tried to get pictures of more of them. Unfortunately, the light wasn’t good for several of the pictures, but I had enough to show something that I hadn’t seen anywhere else.
