bike, get your hands on a map, and head
out on the slickrock trails of this wonder-
land of rock. In between bike rides, con-
sider driving to
Arches National Park
(p. 583) to see some of its incredible sand-
stone arches.
Day
6
: Moab to Monument Valley
Get up early for one last bike ride in
Moab. Then head south to
Monument
Valley Navajo Tribal Park
(p. 115).
Although this park isn't known specifically
as an outdoor-sports destination, the scen-
ery is too awesome to ignore. To burn off
some calories, you can hike the 3.2-mile
Wildcat Trail or hire a Navajo guide
to take you on a hike deeper into the
park. However, if you aren't already too
saddle-sore from biking in Moab, you
should really saddle up a palomino and
ride off into the sunset. No other place in
the West will give you such a feeling of
having ridden right into a classic Holly-
wood western. Stay at
The View Hotel
(p. 119) inside the park, or
Goulding's
Lodge
(p. 118) just outside the park.
Day
7
: Page & Lake Powell
The next day, drive west to Page. Just
before you reach town, you can stop at
Antelope Canyon
(p. 122) and hike into
one of the Southwest's most photographed
slot canyons. It's beautiful but is also often
crowded, which will give you a greater
appreciation for the permit systems in
effect at some of the region's other slot
