Heading there next weekend and already have a UTV tour booked and passes to park for Friday and Saturday. Anyone have any recommendations on specific trails to check out and dining options? Staying in Moab and it's just wife and me.
Moab Diner is good quick food and has good ice cream too. Try the sweetwater skillet with chorizo.ttha_aggie_09 said:

Should be close to a new moon so really good conditions if it isn't cloudy.. We went over to the windows area and took some long exposure photos of the arches with a 1/4 moon for lighting and they made some really cool shots. Looks almost like daylight on the sandstone, but you can still see the stars through and behind them.ttha_aggie_09 said:
Really like the idea on stargazing! Thanks for the tips
About the only thing we saw worth binoculars were a few birds I wanted to ID and a couple of lizards at distance. I carry a small pair of cheap bushnells I can throw in a daypack with my water bottles and snacks. If you are not a birder, probably not worth carrying them.ttha_aggie_09 said:
One last question - should I bring my binoculars? I run them on a chest supported rig and it's not that inconvenient but I'm just not sure I'm going to be glassing a whole bunch of stuff while hiking/farting around. Any thoughts on this?
Full disclosure, most of my hiking revolves around hunting so that's why I have them included as of right now.
