The
Moab area is a hiker's paradise. Sweeping views, high canyon
walls, Native American ruins, ancient petroglyphs and sandstone
arches are some of the things you can expect to see on your
hike. Here are a few suggestions before you arrive. If a word
is linked in blue it denotes
further info is available.
1.
Plan to bring plenty of water.
2. Buy a guidebook or stop by the
visitor center in town and get some suggestions.
3. Let someone know where you are going and when you expect
to be back.
4. Bring a camera, fresh batteries, plenty of film or a large
media card for digital.
5. Wear sunscreen, not the wimpy stuff. Plan on SPF 15 to
60.
6. If you have a GPS bring it. If not bring a map or a
copy of your guidebook.
7. Stay on the trail! Do not destroy fragile cryptobiotic
crust. Enjoy nature responsibly.
8. Bring the proper gear and equipment like a GPS
or Hydration Pack.
7.
Watch out for Poison Ivy in NB Canyon and Hunters Canyon.
