Just outside of Moab, I stopped at a rest stop and took a couple pictures. I love the red sandstone of Moab. Being an avid mountain biker, Moab is really a dream. I spent spring breaks while in college in Moab, unfortunately with the Jeep Safari one year. Here's the whole setup at the rest stop:



I stopped in Moab and ate at the Moab Diner. It's my favorite place to eat when I'm down there, and I highly recommend it.
