Moab has gone thru some monumental growth since I was last there in 2016. Corporations are taking over the hotel sector.
The Redstone was sold 7 weeks ago to a corporation and the rates were immediately raised to 169.99 a night.
Plan ahead if you are going to spend time in town and be prepared to shell out some $$$ for decent accommodations.

Bummer to hear about the Redstone being sold, can't say I'm surprised though. Smart move for the owners to cash out.

i guess all good things must come to an end.
good news is everything else is still intact.
all trails are accessible, but the word is out, Moab is a vacation destination for the masses and corporate america has caught on.

i was half tempted to run out to the confluence to give the wife a peek, but decided not to chance it solo in 115+ degree temps.

still had a xlent time cruising the southern section of canyonlands np

i was hiking this wash by myself and bumped into a guy from Pittsburgh who was traveling the US in his beat down classic toyota corolla. small world

Due to last year's wildfire in Glenwood Canyon, it's been closed quite a bit this year. Every time there's a hard rain thru the canyon a rock and mudslide covers I-70.
