A couple of months ago, Scott and I put a quick trip to Moab on our calendar for November 10. We picked Moab because it sounded warm, even though it's about a 3.5 hour drive. The weather did turn out perfectly. We drove down on Friday afternoon and stayed in the Comfort Suites which was right across the street from "The Broken Oar" which is where we ate dinner. It was a little pricey but the food was good.
The following day, we drove to the trailhead for Corona Arch. Corona Arch is outside of Arches National Park which means you don't have to pay the park entrance fees and it's also a really doable hike--only 1.25 miles each way. I actually would have preferred hiking a little farther but this is what worked. On our way, we saw lots of rock climbers on the cliffs that line the road which follows the Colorado River.
It was a short trip but really fun. Our oldest daughter babysat for us, earning money for her cross country trip to Arizona. She did a good job and now appreciates a little more the challenges of being a parent.
