Nebraska/Utah Trip 2016 - Day 16

The weather looked good this morning so we decided to continue our original plan and head west over the Rockies to Moab, Utah to visit Arches National Park.  It was a good decision as we had an easy trip over the mountains.  The weather was clear, the roads were dry and there was no wind.  The RV struggled a little going over a couple of 11,000 ft + passes and through the Eisenhower Tunnel but it really wasn't  a problem.  We passed and went through several ski areas, the most impressive we could see was Vail, CO.

After we descended down the west slope we also passed through a number of scenic canyons, the most notable Glenwood canyon.  After we passed Grand Junction, CO and drove  into Utah, we were in the high plains with not a lot of scenery.  After we turned south from I-70 to Moab, the terrain became more spectacular.  The RV park where we are staying for the next two nights is nice and very close to Arches National Park that we will visit tomorrow.  It is much warmer here right now - the temperature was in the 90's when we arrived.  The forecast is to remain warm and sunny the rest of the week in Utah, so weather looks like it will not be an issue.

It was a long drive today but it worked out well.
