Done in a Day: Moab

Moab Trails

Due to Moab's diverse appeal, the words "Moab trails" is ambiguous. It could mean 4WD trails, mountain-bike trails, or hiking trails. Moab is justifiably famous for all these activities.

You're a hiker? You're keen to hike Moab trails when visiting Utah? Go to http://www.hikingcamping.com/hike-moab.php. Read about Done in a Day Moab, The Ten Premier Hikes. That's the book that will ensure you make the most of your precious vacation time.

It was written by the Opinionated Hikers, Kathy and Craig Copeland. In addition to hiking all the Moab trails numerous times, they've hiked more than 2000 mi (3000 km) throughout Utah. During their high-desert explorations, they've shot several thousand photos and recorded hundreds of pages of field notes. They're also the authors of Hiking From Here To Wow: Utah Canyon Country.

The ten Moab trails that earned their enthusiastic endorsement in Done in a Day Moab are, in their words, "certifiably spectacular." But the book doesn't limit you to just ten choices. It actually describes 18 Moab trails. Within the Needles District of Canyonlands are five distinct options that, depending on your time, energy and desire, you can combine or hike separately. Plus, in the book's introduction, the authors detail four Moab trails they did not rank among the top ten but nevertheless enthusiastically recommend.
