Because on Friday we made such good time (made it all the way from Reno, to Delta, UT, not "only" to Ely, NV) we arrived in Moab on Saturday relatively early. Moab is about 6 miles south of Arches National Park, and about 15 resp. 30 miles from the north and south entrances of Canyonlands National Park. Since we only had 2 nights, we restricted ourselves to seeing Arches National Park.
We think that Arches is one of the most spectacular National Parks and well worth a visit.
