i'm spoiling this to prevent any indexing or unwanted propagation

happy to help with more data by PM or spoiled here

Spoiler

i'm feeling generous this morning so i will pay it forward to #teamsurl.....

a number of things have combined to create a unique opportunity for those who choose to take it.....

without belaboring the politics and insanity of the current regime, they have created an opportunity that i for one thought would never again exist.....

right now, at this moment, on friday of memorial day weekend, 3 hours after sunrise, there are a total of FOUR cars at the entrance station to Arches National Park (there is a webcam)

the moab wyndham wingate, checking in saturday 31st, checking out tuesday 3rd, is $173/night

you can have your pick of properties next weekend - a year ago was $300+ and the backup to get in to arches was 500 cars deep and you had to wait for 2 hours to park and then hike with literally 1000 other people to the same viewpoints

contour (mileageplan) serves CNY daily from DEN and PHX

GJT is 90 minutes from moab and is served by all 3 majors to their nearest hubs (DEN, DFW, PHX, SLC)

GJT is also served by MX on sundays and thursdays from BDL, LAS, SNA and PVU; bizzarre strategy to only run the station 2 days a week to 4 destinations, but leave it to neeleman to innovate

there are hundreds of other must-see places in the intermountain west, and many of them remain relatively unknown and are never over run

since the rona, "barcelona hordes" is the accurate description for the summer situation at the grand canyon south rim, arches and yosemite

but right now, there is a reprieve at arches i never thought we would see again, and especially if you have kids or grandkids, drop 5k and hightail it out there

before or after arches, make sure you make the pre-dawn drive to the canyonlands viewpoint to arrive BEFORE nautical twilight; it's a 1-hour drive from moab, nautical begins at 5:15am next week

just remember, wherever you go, there you are
