More photos after the break...

I'm a big fan of National Parks. I even have a National Park Passport I got when I was little. It's full of stamps from all kinds of places - from Yosemite to the Black Hills, South Dakota, I've collected quite a few.

So going to Moab, Utah was definetly on my top priority list when it came to the National Park sector. So my boy and I packed up the Jeep and spent three wonderfully relaxing and quiet days together.

Unfortunately, most of our first day was spent looking for a camping spot! There's only one reservable area in Arches National Park and the campsite usually books 4-6 months out. The rest of the selection is first come first serve, and if you're not there at 6am it's really tough finding a spot outside the city limits of Moab.

We ended up in a small woodsy area that was kind of too populated for me. But next time we're planning on camping near an off-roading trail since it's usually more secluded. A hotel or AirB&B would also be a better if you're not much for camping anyways... there's also options like safari or tipi camping!

After finally setting up our humble campsite, we spent the rest of the afternoon in town picking up necessities and exploring an easy off-roading trail. We decided on Onion Creek Fischer Towers Trail for its numerous water crossings and easy riding. It was particularly relaxing and most stock trucks or SUVs could handle it.

We ended the evening in our traditional manor, with a campfire and s'mores. I got to try my first 'mountain pie' which is a deliciously grilled pizza/sandwich thing made in one of these contraptions.
