Moab at Night
The last day we were at Moab, we went to the bank and talked with a teller about any local areas of attraction and discovered a back way into Arches National Park that the locals knew about. It was Daniel Wells Road about 12 miles North of Moab on 191. After driving there, we determined that the off road experience would not be good for our Honda Odessey, another reason to purchase a Jeep for trips such as this. We then drove back toward Moab and traveled a paved road, called Potash Road. The drive was very scenic with several pull offs. One pull off had a trail that led to dinosaur tracks that could be seen in the rocks. Other pull offs had the drawings of the ancients on the cliffs. About 7 miles into the drive we came to a huge Postash plant along the edge of Canyonlands where we turned around. On the way back we saw several cliff climbers. That night we went out to eat at a restaurant that overlooked Moab. The restaurant was the former home of a Uranium prospector that hit it big and became the towns first millionaire. The food was excellent and very reasonably priced. We awoke the next morning and went into town to get some laundry money at the bank and decided to eat breakfast at the Moab Diner. Great breakfast and price!
