Emphasis will be on geology and Native American culture, but the Mesa Arch Trail will take us through a pinion-juniper woodland and we will marvel at the survival abilities of the plant and animal life in this harsh environment. After a day of hiking and exploring this most famous feature of the Arches National Park, we will have our farewell dinner at a Moab restaurant. After breakfast, we will be free to take our last looks at Moab's red cliffs, the Colorado River, the LaSal Mountains, and finish shopping for souvenirs. We will depart Moab at noon for our flight back to Philadelphia. The pace will be relaxed and comfortable.
Temperatures are usually comfortably warm during the day with cool nights and mornings.
