Moab, Arches, & Canyonlands iPhone App Released

Posted on 30. Sep, 2010 by Writer in On Writing

The Moab, Arches & Canyonlands iPhone App I’ve been working on all summer was finally released on iTunes yesterday. Now that I am looking back, it was actually a pretty fun project. I learned a bit more about the history of the area and explored some areas I wouldn’t have otherwise.

In the Moab, Arches & Canyonlands iPhone Guide you will fine the ins and outs of both Arches and Canyonlands National Park including hiking trails, scenic viewpoints, and visitor center information as well as where to dine, shop, hike, and mountain bike outside the parks. All entries are categorized by region like “Dead Horse Point”, “Canyonlands” or “Colorado River” and are searchable with tags like “Family Friendly”, “Must-See” and “Free Wi-Fi.”

Writing the guide made me realize how rigid I am when I travel.  I always go to the same coffee shop in Moab – always to the Brewery after a big day on the trail for some Veggie Chile, Jalapeño Cornbread, and a Black Raven Stout.  Doing the research for the guide made me get a bit out of my travel box and I discovered that Dave’s market has a vending machine outside their store for bike tubes, the Love Muffin Cafe has a muffin with bacon in it, and the Wake & Bake has some super yummy Fish Tacos.

If you are planning a trip to the Moab area in the future, check out the guide and let me know what you think! Also check out The Best of Moab, a photo essay of my favorite spots in Moab.
