Dead Horse Point State Park nestles right beside Canyonlands National Park and sits 2,000 feet above Moab, Utah. Where Escalante was a hiking mecca, this area is all about mountain biking. We have loved being at a higher elevation because this time of the year can still be really warm. The extra 2,000 feet, where we are camping, is consistently about 10 degrees cooler than the valley below. The newly visited National Parks, for me, that have warranted day trips in this area, are Capitol Reef and Canyonlands. Both just beautiful but the main thing we’ve enjoyed is the biking! We are discovering that many places across the country rank their biking trails like ski resort hills; green, blue and black diamond. Moab has it all!
Nice blog with great information since we are New to Airstream travel. Do you lock your AS coupler? Asking because you seem to be away from your unit biking and hiking. Thanks
ReplyDeleteFred,
ReplyDeleteWe do lock the coupler. But we haven’t stayed anywhere, so far, where we’ve felt unsafe. In most campgrounds, with camp hosts and friendly neighbors, there’s almost a “neighborhood watch” feeling. If we ever arrived somewhere that felt sketchy we would most likely move on to another park.
