I have really been wanting to do Syncline Loop trail (Canyonlands NP) and Devils Garden trail (Arches NP). I may have time to visit Utah in late December this year. Is it advisable to trek those at that time of the year. I will be trekking alone. I am not a seasoned hiker but am reasonably fit (41 year old male), the most I have ever done before this is Old Rag in Shenandoah.

Should I attempt them (or even one), and what precautions and gear to take.

I shouldn't have worn it. I grew up in a touristy area and fully comprehend my idiocy.

It's silver with a rectangular locket. The top has my grandfather's name and army # from WWII. The underside has the brand name Locketag and patent info, plus an engraved "Love, Tony."

I know I had it on in Canyonlands on Nov. 24 and I think I had it on that night. Pretty sure I wore it to City Market on the morning of the 25th, but not 100% and could have lost it there. Before I noticed it was gone, we were at Arches, specifically the visitor center, Turret Arch, and Devils Garden (where I put my hand into and out of my pocket a lot, so that's most likely.)

I have the memory of a gnat, so there's a chance it's somewhere I forget even going. I don't even have a picture of it.

I would really super appreciate it if you would keep an eye out... Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving.

My family and I are traveling to Moab after Christmas for a small vacation. I realize that the end of December is definitely not peak season, but for those that live or have traveled through during that time; what are the must dos?

A lot of the paid excursions are closed but some of the ATV tours are active.
We will have bikes and hiking gear, two active adults and a 15 year old kid that is active-ish.

I appreciate the help in making the best of our time there!

TIA!

( I have spent some time on Google... but I want your input, lol!)

Just passing through and realizing I am running out of film … anyone know of anywhere I could get some? Thanks!

Hey everybody, I just wanted to make a post sending a warning out that a friend of mine who's been missing his pet for a while was approached by a person on Messenger saying they had his pet and wanted to meet up to give him his pet back. When he arrived at the designated spot, they practically approached it like a hostage situation where they had parked a bit back and were only willing to have my friend see the pet if he sent half the reward money first and the other half when he was given the pet. This is most likely a scam that could become more prominent and might involve the kidnapping of animals to shake down already vulnerable pet owners. Keep watch and look out for similar possible scams and animals going missing.

Do any stores sell red dirt shirts in moab, similar to the ones the now closed Original Red Dirt Shirts sold? I had an ex who had one of their shirts and it was the most comfortable thing I’d ever worn, would love to get one on an upcoming mountain biking trip.

it’s okay for locals to laugh at me on this one (a frequent tourist and lover of Moab). I just am curious about the context behind some of these stickers outside the back of beyond bookstore. I saw a magnet on the machine itself which says “paid for by the trt”, which I’m aware of. Can anyone explain?

What's the final verdict on Spitfire? I miss the Rio and the spit hasn't really filled the void.

Was up at the end of Onion Creek today and saw a lone cow. Ear tag #111, it appeared. Didn't see any other cattle nearby and s/he kinda came up to us when we slowed down to get a look.

Talked to someone in town who said cattle are pretty much gone from up there by November 1. So if you're missing a cow, s/he might be looking for you up around those parts. I can upload a pic when I get back to town

Dirty tourist running the Dead Horse Ultra 50 Miler in a few weeks. First time coming to Moab, any must hit breweries/coffee shops/curiosities? Will only be there a few days. Mostly looking for good spots to eat/drink when I’m not racing or rotting on the couch.

To the two Chili Pepper bike shop employees riding cross-country through mud and crypto, on the shops rental e-bikes and then running away like children when I called you out:

  Fuck. You.

We have enough access issues without you acting like little tourist morons. Even the Texans you passed on the way up had better manners.

And then to do it while on break from work, on the shops rental bikes?   How stupid are you?

Hello everyone. Our child has gone missing. Last seen near Rotary Park after he accidentally escaped from a couple who were watching him. His parents are very worried about him. Answers to the name of Boo. 7 years old. Has a spot of white fur on his left shoulder blade. He’s microchipped so if caught please bring to Moab Animal Shelter or Millcreek Veterinary so they can contact us. Or if seen, please please please message this account directly. He’s his parents whole world and we love him so much… 🥺

Hey y’all. I’m (M31) wanting to get back into fitness, my background being in swimming competitively and dancing. While I know where to swim laps, I was wondering what dance fitness classes for adults you’d recommend that take place in the evenings?

I am transgender so due to Utah's laws it's basically illegal to use the women's bathroom and dangerous and possibly illegal for me to use the men's bathroom except for gender neutral bathrooms I'm trying to find a gender neutral shower and have been calling RV parks and searching for over an hour with no luck. If you know any showers that are unisex single stall such as the ones at pilot truck stops let me know thanks 🙏

Just a reminder that Craig Weston, lead developer of the Kane Creek Luxury Resort, has given at least $10k in the last few years to Grand County Republican Party, under various Shell entities that all trace back to him 🙃

In case anyone tries to tell you that this isn’t true (like, say, Lynn Jackson, the meanest liar and chair of the grand county GOP), here’s the exact numbers and entities. Please fuckin vote, yall. Who does Jackson/ local GOP/ Craig Weston support? Brian Martinez, Brittney Bohannon Melton, Melodie McCandless, and Howard Trenholm. Strong move to vote for their opponents, two of who have already fought Kane Creek and all of who have been vocal in wanting to continue the fight.

Always for the views.

Carnitas burrito for the win.

Because fuck the rich.

“Dear friends and neighbors,

We all agree that the Kane Creek luxury resort is a terrible idea, but the developers tell us it’s a done deal and there’s no way to stop it. That’s false, and they know it.

Why are the Kane Creek developers donating thousands of dollars to the Grand County Republican Party and doing everything in their power to elect Republican-backed candidates? Because they know those candidates will vote in favor of the Kane Creek resort, and these votes will make a crucial difference. It’s already happened earlier this year, when Commissioners Winfield and McCurdy voted to green-light the Kane Creek development’s utilities and all the other Commissioners were opposed.

If we elect

Ashley Korenblat, Jason Ramsdell, Jacques Hadler, Trisha Hedin

they will enforce the County’s land use rules and the Kane Creek resort will very likely be stopped. If we elect the Republican and Kane Creek-approved slate (Martinez, McCandless, Trenholme, Melton), they will vote in favor of Kane Creek (as Winfield and McCurdy have already done) and this terrible project really will be a done deal.

Don’t let the Kane Creek developers buy our county! We will vote against any candidate that the Kane Creek developers support. Vote for Ashley Korenblat, Jason Ramsdell, Jacques Hadler, Trisha Hedin! They are opposed to Kane Creek, and the Kane Creek developers are afraid of them.

Thanks.

Leslie Thomas and Mark Knudsen”
