I was also thinking Moab. I've done 10 days there, but only mountain biking. The two national parks are just great. The town is very nice. The problem is it's very difficult to get any rooms during a festival. They get booked up like a year in advance for some places. Ran into that the last time I called some.

I prefer quieter times in popular places. Don't care for crowds and higher prices.

My wife was not up to the trails in Moab, so every other day we hiked in the parks. She often shuttled for my rides. She enjoyed it immensly.
