(Podcast) Magnificent Moab, Arches & Canyonlands National Parks, & Mountain Biking Heaven
Season 1 Episode 15, Magnificent Moab, finds us having way too much fun in Moab Utah, exploring Arches National Park, partying with the Adventure Mamas Initiative during their Dirtbag Family Bash, and hitting the trail on some fantastic mountain bikes near Canyonlands National Park!
We talk about the Trail Forks App that helps you find fantastic trails with ratings, pictures, and off-line available maps so you don't get lost.
For you hikers and runners out there, AllTrails is another app that we have found to be super useful when you are looking for some awesome hiking trails.
Of course, that doesn't replace local knowledge and you can get the best local knowledge for biking at Chili Peppers Bike Shop or Poison Spider Bikes (sweet name btw).
Hiking, climbing, camping, or need to do some laundry? Then Gearheads is your shop!
They even have free filtered water. We picked up a 5 gallon Scepter Water container and flow control spout to keep in the truck: it is great to have that added water insurance on our back country adventures. I can't tell you how many times that has come in handy.
Moab is an unparalleled adventure locale for everything from climbing, 4X4 adventures, mountain biking, hiking, canyoneering, and of course whitewater paddling!
I have to admit, I found it very difficult to find an outdoor itch that you can't scratch in this adventure mecca of the American West.
We even got to catch the Banff Mountain Film Festival (Eric's first in-the-theater experience).
