    Back of Beyond Books, located in the heart of the southwest desert of Moab, Utah, is an independent bookstore. The name comes from one of Edward Abbey's best-known fiction titles, The Monkey Wrench Gang. They specialize in natural history, environmental literature, travel guides and maps of the southwest, Native American books, and western history. But they also have an extensive collection of fiction, science, philosophy, current events, rare books, and other items of interest.

    For a super easy, family-friendly stroll right in the heart of Moab, consider the "Moab Food Truck Park – Mural 'The Delicate Arch' loop from Moab." This short route is less a wilderness trek and more a pleasant urban walk, featuring a vibrant mural of Utah's most famous arch. You'll enjoy a flat, accessible path, perfect for a relaxed outing, especially if you're looking for something to do before or after a meal.

    This easy 1.1-mile (1.8 km) loop, with only 15 feet (5 metres) of elevation gain, takes about 27 minutes to complete. It conveniently starts and ends at the Moab Food Truck Park, making parking and access simple. It's an ideal option for those who want to experience a touch of Moab's iconic scenery without venturing into the national parks or tackling more challenging terrain.

    While the actual Delicate Arch Trail is a much longer and more strenuous hike within Arches National Park, this loop offers a quick, in-town alternative to appreciate the arch's beauty via public art. It's a great way to stretch your legs and soak in the local atmosphere, especially if you're seeking beginner hiking options near Moab Food Truck Park.
