- [Tara] This is dangerous.
- [Chad] Feels awesome.
- [Tara] This is dangerous.
Oh my gosh, Chad.
This is scary.
- [Chad] This is awesome.
- [Tara] I don't like this at all.
- [Chad] It's no different
than any other thing we've been on.
- [Tara] Really?
(upbeat music)
(bouncy music)
- [Tara] We left Cortez, Colorado,
which was our last location
and we drove 115 miles
to Moab, Utah.
- Yeah, Moab was so cool.
- One of our favorite locations.
- Absolutely.
Definitely I think one
of the most fun-filled.
- Yeah.
(upbeat music)
- [Chad] We stayed at a place
called Portal RV Resort.
- [Tara] Yeah, it was an
interesting setup there.
- [Chad] It was different than any place
we've ever stayed before
because it had condos
in the middle of stuff.
- [Tara] Yes, so the first half
that you drive through is the campground.
And it's a little less
fancy, I guess you can say,
with gravel sites, but still
have a nice cement block
that you can have a picnic
table and stuff like that.
And still fairly spacious sites.
And then the back half
are all owned sites.
- [Chad] That's considered
the resort side.
- [Tara] Yeah, and there
are townhouses there, too.
It was interesting and we weren't sure
when we were checking in if
we were gonna like our site
because it was a long driveway
in-between two townhouses.
- [Chad] We talked to the people
in the townhouse next to us
and they owned that RV site
and of course, you can
either use it yourself
or rent it out, which of
course is what they did.
- [Tara] Yeah, and it was huge.
Ours had a nice pergola, so
it gave the patio some shade.
- [Chad] Pergola, is
that what it's called?
- [Tara] That's what it's called.
- [Chad] Okay (laughs)
- [Tara] The resort side of
this park had its own pool
and its own dog park and it
was landscaped beautifully.
There is another pool
on the campground side
that's connected to the
office where you check in
and another dog park.
So there's a lot of amenities there
and our location was cool
because behind our RV
was this huge field with horses.
- [Chad] Yeah, huge field
followed by some mountains
in the background.
One of the cool things about
this park is it's only about
a mile into downtown Moab and four miles
from the entrance to Arches National Park.
- [Tara] Awesome, awesome location.
We're right outside of
Arches National Park.
And it's after work and we thought,
let's just go check it out.
- Check out this Arches thing.
- Yeah.
(upbeat music)
- The ride going in there is just amazing.
The entire ride is amazing.
- [Tara] Oh, yeah, and
there's one main road
from the entrance to the end of the park,
which ends and loops around
at the Devils Garden area.
Our intentions were to just
ride that road, loop around,
and go back out.
We weren't going to get off the bike
and hike around on that day.
We just wanted to get a feel
of the lay of the land and stuff.
(upbeat music)
- [Chad] Well, you can
really probably maybe see
a dozen or so from the road,
there's over 2,000 arches.
- [Tara] Utah just was unbelievable
with how beautiful it was
and how diverse it was.
We couldn't wait to go back.

traffic congestion getting in
and out of the park can be really high
between March and October.
And we did while driving
by it a few times,
see some lines to get in.
But every time we went was in the evening,
- [Tara] And that's the way to go.
- [Chad] And that's the way to go.

(light instrumental music)
- [Chad] So this was a work week for us,
so we didn't get to do a
whole lot else that week.
- [Tara] One night after work,
I didn't wanna make any dinner.
So we went to Moab

a very touristy city,

- [Tara] so what are you gonna do?
But the food was good.
It was pretty busy in there.
I ate spinach salad, so I could have this.

- Two?
Why are you including me?
- (laughs) Well 'cause you got her on you.
- That's true.
(laughs)
So we're just gonna take a shorter ride
to Canyonlands National Park from Moab.
It's about 35 minutes to get to the park
and we'll see how she does.
- You ready to go
- She's doing pretty good
so far, so knock on wood.
- on a motorcycle, Daisy?
- She's just happy to be with us.

- [Tara] But when we
got on the highway, I
don't think she liked it.
- And I think she would have been okay,
but I think Tara was a little
more stressed than Daisy.
- Well but here's the thing.
She would tuck her whole body under
to protect herself from the wind.
- Was she doing that with her paws?
- Yes.
(laughs)
- No, but she would crouch
into the bag and kind of hide
and I could just tell it
wasn't comfortable for her

You can do that, I don't care.
Are you having fun?
- This is a frickin' blast.
(laughs)
(upbeat music)
That particular Hell's Revenge trail
ends down over the Colorado River,
so you can stop there and
get out and walk around.
- [Tara] There's a at river view overlook
that we got, stretched our
legs, and took some pictures.
- [Chad] Yeah, while we were there,
we were looking down on a road
that ran parallel to the river.
We said we gotta go find
that, which we do later.
- [Tara] We had a blast.
We were so glad that Dan and Eva came
to do these trails with us.
It just made it even more fun.
And I can't wait to do it again.
(upbeat music)
- What'd you think?
- I really liked it,
except for like the last,
the last quarter miles, when
we left the river overlook,
that whole stretch was
a little tough for me.
'Cause it was so bumpy.
- Peanut and Daisy got along just fine.
- They did.
They're all in one piece
and they're very happy.
We finally are coming down
to Moab to just walk around,
check out the shops and the restaurants
and eat somethin'
- We waited til the one day
it looks like it might rain.
- Yeah.
- 'Cause that's just that we roll.
- [Tara] That's how we do things.
It's a little bit cooler that way.
- [Chad] Yeah, it's
actually really nice out.
- [Tara] There's the Food Truck Park here,
but I think I wanna go
somewhere and sit down and eat.
And we don't know where
we're gonna end up yet.
So we're just gonna walk
around and find out.
I'm sure wherever we
pick will be expensive
because it's very touristy city.
- [Chad] Yeah.

Moab a couple of times

There were actually a

to choose from and we weren't really sure
which one we want to go to.
So we chose a place called The Spoke.
And it was a really neat place.
We sat outside, they have
a nice covered patio.
(light music)
- [Tara] You like it?
- It's delicious.
- [Tara] I know.

- [Chad] We did make it back
into Arches in the evening
for some really cool sunset pictures,
and it was just beautiful.
- [Tara] Oh, awesome.

to some of the Arches.

We didn't do any of those, unfortunately.

turnoff to get there from 191

only like two miles away.
