Info

For a place to stay, Moab has all the usual chain motels and hotels, such as LaQuinta, Best Western, Holiday Inn, etc. The rates are fairly reasonable at the chains we checked. Rates under $100 per night are easy to find. For those wanting something a little fancier, Red Cliffs Lodge is available a few miles up-river from Moab. It is situated on the Colorado River and has a restaurant and a multitude of activities on site; plan on spending about $170 per night if you stay there. For the particularly wellheeled, Sorrel River Ranch is a resort with spa and a four-to-five star restaurant on site and is also on the river. Rates run from $280 to $460 per night. There are also bed and breakfast inns available. Go to www.moab-utah.com to find more information. While we were in Moab we didn’t discover any spectacularly good eateries, but we were also never disappointed in our choices. Moab Brew-Pub on Main Street has good, typical brew pub fare at good prices. Moab Diner was our most frequent choice and had the usual diner fare of very good quality. They also had a wide selection of ice cream and the prices were low. Moab’s airport is the Canyonlands Airport (KCNY), and is at 4,555 feet MSL. Runway 3/21 is asphalt and is 7,100 feet long. It sits on a flat area between slightly higher plateaus, and has clear approaches. The surrounding areas are higher than the runway, but are not a hazard if you are aware of them. As mentioned earlier, summer temperatures can be high, so be mindful of density altitude. The FBO at KCNY is Redtail Aviation. Everyone we dealt with at Redtail was friendly and helpful. They were very laid back, but took care of everything we asked for. Fuel prices were competitive and tie-downs were reasonable. Gemini Bridges Long Canyon

The car rental counter in the airport is only manned with prior reservations, so don’t wait until you arrive. Moab is a great and unique place to visit for a few days or a week. Make your plans for a memorable visit. Editor’s Note: LeWayne Garrison wrote this article in hopes to promote the use of Comanches for leisure travel. He states, “I know I don’t utilize my own airplane, N5827P, as much as I would like to. I am submitting these articles solely to try and share some of my favorite trips and memories.” Look for other travel destination stories by LeWayne in future issues.
