We will be in Moab for 1 day this month and would like suggestions for family raft trip, half day or less even. Kids are 15 & 10. Also, any good places to stay or eat? Thanks--lfw

We took Tag-a-Long for a one day trip on the Colorado River in late May. They were a real good outfit and I would use them again. One of the highlights of our two week trip. Rapids were some class 2 with one class 3. This was our first raft trip, so I kept it relatively mild. Next time we will go with something more challenging. Our kids are 10 and 13.

We stayed at the Quality Inn - very good. Had an indoor pool, hot tub, laundry, microwave and refrigerator. Try La Hacienda for excellent Mexican food.

Thanks rbn. I will check out Tag-a-Long & definitely the Mexican restaurant...one of my favorites! Where else did you go with the kids on your trip?--lfw

Garden of the Gods and Rocky Mountain NP in Colorado. Cayonlands, Dead Horse Point, Arches and Rafting in Moab. Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks. Devils' Tower and Mount Rushmore. We were gone 15 days. Let me know if you have any specific questions on any of these places. Rich

We just returned from a Utah trip. We rafted with Western River outfitters through Westwater Canyon for 3 days. They had an extra raft the first day that joined us just for a one day trip through Westwater. They are located on main road in Moab. We then stayed in Moab at the Best Western Canyonlands Inn...great location, laundry downstairs, walk around town. We hiked one evening in Arches...up to Delicate Arch...it is awesome. We went back the next day to take in more of the great scenery and hiking to other arches. A great hike out of the Park is at Negro Bill Canyon just north of Moab. It follows a creek up to Morning Glory Arch. Dead Horse Point is a place with great views also. I am saving my $$$ for a Grand Canyon Rafting trip! I got lots of info from this website.
