Alpen Rose RV Park, Durango, CO

We have traded Moab dust for Durango mud. Yes, we have made the turn, and are headed home.

It rained as we approached the town of Durango, and the road construction and dust from Moab have made a real mess of the coach. Glad I spent the money to have it washed in Spearfish!

Alpen Rose RV Park has been a favorite of ours here in Moab. It is in a very nice setting and has a huge dog park for Bella to run in. Once we set up the campsite we took her over and she managed to find the culverts full of water. She had a ball, but what a mess! This dog loves the water. Can’t keep her out. Revenge was ours, though, as we tool her to the onsite do-it-your-self dog wash. Ten dollars later she was spiffed up again, much to her chagrin.

The Durango-Silverton narrow gauge train came by. We have considered taking it tomorrow, but at $90 each we decided to pass. 

The Silverton train passes just in front of the partk

Not sure what we will do tomorrow, but taking Bella on the river walk is on the list, for sure.

Red Cliffs Inn, Moab, UT

We arrived in Moab a few days before the club rally was to begin so we got caught up on chores and did a little sight seeing and just relaxed in general.

 

We were met with gorgeous weather on arrival at Portals RV Resort.

A group of us had Sunday brunch at Red Cliffs Inn about twenty miles up the Colorado River. It was a great meal, and the facility is gorgeous. There is a winery adjacent to the inn, so we stopped by for a taste and bought a few bottles for friends.

If you hope to visit Moab to see the beautiful national parks here this would be the high-end place to stay. Next would be the Marriott, I guess, but although it has nice river views it can not compete with the views and charm of the cabins at Red Cliffs Inn.
