Brief Scenes

should i go to moab or zion?

its mud season now, im bored, and unemployed. i need to go do something cheep so i figure ill go camping. i have no gear so it would be out of my car, but i would want to mountain bike, fly fish, and hike (im not a serious biker, just like to ride around on the mountains). which one should i go to? zion is about 6 hours away moab about 5 so the distance isnt an issue. i havnt been to either so both would be a great experience. i would also be bringing my 80lb dog so the hikes would have to be easy enough for her, she is a great hiker and can do some medium to tough trails. but i am big into photography so i would love some breath taking views i could get photos of.
thanks for that, i started looking into it and dogs arnt really allowed on any trails. so then i guess my question is… where should i go in utah (preferably mid to south so i can get into some warm weater) to fish, MB, and hike with my dog?

Neither because dogs aren’t allowed in the back-country of any NP
Your best bet is a somewhere on the stretch of SR 95 between Hanksville UT and Mexican Hat UT

If you’re heading south on SR 95 make a right on SR 261 and go down the legendary Moki Dugway a road which you will either fall madly in love with or a road which will scare the crap out of you .With me both things happened at the same time
Get a DeLorme Road Atlas and Gazetteer for Utah so you know where the frogg you’re going and if you pass thru Moab en-route ask the locals at the bike shops what they recommend in the area
Have fun
Update
Yeah follow the Colorado River towards the AZ line and look at the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area
