Arches National Park is a must see. The highlight of our trip so far, just phenomenal. The road up into Arches is a climbing hairpin road with views back down into the valley and huge red cliffs of varied shapes. The pictures just don't do it justice you have to see it to fully appreciate it, just miles and miles of breathtaking views. You could spend days here exploring.
We also went to Canyonlands National Park and it reminds you of the Grand Canyon with the Colorado river running through it as well. Again you just can't see it all in one day. We rented a jeep for our visit to the Parks today for a change of pace and gave the motorcycle a rest.
Flexibility is the operative word. The weather reports for the next two days have extreme wind gust warnings for the areas we were heading next (Bryce and Zion National Parks) so we made reservations to stay another two nights here in Moab, not a bad place to have to stay. Weather looks better in two days.

I'm up to date again. Moab is beautiful! I'm getting excited for you to see Bryce. I think that is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. Glad you have rented the jeep....
