Okay, here's the email I had sent them:

And, I emailed her back with the following questions: Kate, thanks so much for the prompt response. I don't think pets will be an issue, just wanted to ask in case someone brought one. Here's some additional questions just for clarification: 1) Are pets allowed in the 5 basic cabins? 2) When are you open? 3) We're thinking either middle to late May(not Memorial weekend because of crowds) or sometime later, but not sure when people start coming back. We don't have A/C in our vehicles, so would late summer be okay as well or too hot? We want to try to fit it into most kids school schedules, because it will be a family event. 4) Do you already have things reserved for the 16-20th of May 2007? If so, how many of each item is available? Is this a good weekend or too hot? 5) Is March (Spring Break) a good week for Moab, or still too cold(snow?)? 6) What are your group rate details? Chris P.S. Does anyone else have any questions they'd like answered?

The landscape of southeastern Utah is like no other place on Earth. The ruggedly spectacular desert landscape and remote location of the adjoining towns often generates quite a few questions from first-time visitors. The following list was compiled from some of the most frequently asked questions.
1. Are there any airports located near Moab? Moab Airport is located 18 miles north of Moab. America West Express currently provides sceduled daily flights to Salt Lake City. The closest major airport to Moab is located in Salt Lake City (236 miles from Moab). Currently there are 9 major air carriers and 2 commuter airlines flying into Salt Lake City International Airport. Walker Field, located in Grand Junction Colorado (110 miles from Moab), contains a small airport with daily commuter flights with United Express/Air Wisconsin, Skywest/Delta, and America West Express/Mesa Airlines. Contact information for all of these airlines is located on our Airline Page. 2. Can I see Arches and Canyonlands National Park in a passenger car? Yes, Arches National Park and the Island in the Sky district of Canyonlands National Park contain paved scenic drives which go to all of the major viewpoints in the park. The Needles District of Canyonlands National Park contains a short scenic drive, with the rest of the park accessible via backcountry hiking trails and 4 wheel drive roads. 3. How long should I allow to see Arches and Canyonlands National Parks? The answer to this question depends upon what specific activities you are interested in doing. The scenic drives at Arches and Canyonlands National Parks (Island in the Sky District) can be driven in a few hours each. Therefore, if you have a limited amount of time to stay in the area, you can get a good sample of both parks in one day. However, it is advisable to spend at least a full day at each park so you can enjoy a few hikes to better experience the parks. Several days can be spent at each park if you enjoy hiking many of the longer trails, and Canyonlands National Park contains enough backcountry to keep dedicated hikers and backpackers busy for years! 4. Is it worth going to Canyonlands National Park if I've already seen Arches National Park? Yes! Arches and Canyonlands National Parks provide completely different experiences. Arches National Park contains the world's largest concentration of natural stone openings. The park provides visitors with an up-close experience of an unearthly, yet hauntingly beautiful, red rock landscape. In contrast, the Island in the Sky District of Canyonlands National Park is located atop a 1000 foot mesa with viewpoints that encompass thousands of square miles of ruggedly spectacular canyon country. Because of the varicolored landscape of southeastern Utah many people feel that the views from the Island in the Sky actually surpass those seen at the Grand Canyon! 5. Is the heat unbearable in the summer? Actually, the heat isn't as intense as you may have been led to believe. This region is considered to be a high desert - ground level in Moab is 4000 feet and the surrounding National Parks reach elevations of over 6000 feet. During the summer months there is very little cloud cover and our humidity is extremely low which results in remarkably cool and comfortable evenings. As a result of that cooling, the morning temperatures are quite comfortable. Getting an early start in the morning provides hikers and bikers many hours of comfortable temperatures. The warmest part of the day is usually from 1pm-4pm. Summer visitors to southern Utah often spend the morning enjoying the physical activity of their choice, and then spend the afternoon pursuing more relaxing activities such as scenic drives, horseback rides, or jetboat rides. Check out or Climate Page for a list of daily temps in the Moab area. 6. Is there public internet access in Moab? Yes, Internet access is fairly common in many of the local lodging establishments, and at numerous restaurants around town. Internet access is denoted in both our accommodation listings and restaurant listings. The Grand County Library, (257 East Center St, Moab 435-259-1111) offers internet access for library card holders only. 7. Are there any supermarkets in Moab? Yes, Moab has 2 full size grocery stores, both containing a deli and bakery: Village Market 702 South Main Street City Market 425 S Main Street 8. Is there a hospital in Moab? Yes there is.

Yes, Moab contains quite a few ATMs. In addition to ATMs at Wells Fargo Bank and Zions National Bank, the supermarket and quite a few convenience stores also contain ATMs. 10. What activities are there in the Moab area to enjoy with small children? There are many short trails in Arches National Park that small children can enjoy. In particular, Sand Dune Arch contains a massive sand pile beneath the arch which is always popular with kids. Additionally, the town of Moab contains a water park, public swimming pool, skateboard park, and a spectacular scenic chair lift. 11. What Gas Stations are located in Moab? Moab contains numerous gas stations including Shell, Phillips 66, Maverick, Black Oil, and Chevron. 12. Are there any public tennis courts in Moab? Yes.

PUBLIC LANDS: Generally, pets may accompany you as you hike on public land in Canyon Country. (Check out our Moab Brochure Rack for a downloadable brochure with some popular Moab area hikes.)
