Ken’s Lake is an excellent location for peace and quiet. It is operated by the Bureau of land management. You can register on site or reservation system through Recreation.gov. There are three group sites and 30 tent sites so relatively small. There is a water fall near by that was really flowing with the three days of rain we experienced.  A little far from Moab but much closer than the Arches campground or Onion Creek.

Stopped in to Miguel’s for dinner one night. Bright and nicely decorated. There is a front room and a back room near the kitchen. I like that they had a surf board hanging on the wall near the kitchen. I ordered the chicken enchiladas with mole sauce. It was very authentic. I don’t recall what my friends had but they liked the meal. Only issue is it was a little expensive for the area. But I’ll be back for that mole sauce.

I’ve seen several restaurants come and go at this location over the years. Hopefully this one survives. The restaurant is two floors an very colorful. The menu is not that big but sufficient. They do advertise Tapas, but looking at the limited selection and prices it was more like appetizers.  Although it was lunch, I had the breakfast burrito. It was a bit on the small side and a little watery as you can see in the picture and the portion was a little small. Still appropriate for the price which was very inexpensive.  It also did not come with anything. My friend had a hamburger that he liked a lot.

This place is great! It is a very small house converted into a restaurant that serves only breakfast and lunch. Inside has limited seating and the walls are covered with collectables and paintings you can browse and shop. There is more seating on the front deck and side. They have an amazing garden that was in full bloom. There is a giant tea cup in the front yard that has bubbling water and maybe a smoke machine or dry ice for the effect of hot coffee/tea.  They have a unique way of serving the food. All orders are taken inside at the counter. After the order is placed, they give you a large plastic vegetable and you go find some seating. When you food is ready someone comes out with it and looks for your vegetable and serve your food, lol. Cool.

I ate here once for breakfast and once for lunch.  Breakfast, I had the breakfast burrito. It was very good and the only complaint I had was that the tortilla was too small and kept unraveling.  Lunch, I had the curry wrap. It was curry rice and chicken with vegetable. Make sure to get it with the yogurt dressing. It is too dry without it. Again, good food but the wrap was too small and made a mess.  Overall I would eat here again.

Update May 2012: I tried the Huevos Rancheros. it was very good and fairly a lot of food for the price. I also had the breakfast burrito again another day on this trip. I didn’t have the trouble with the tortilla coming apart this time, lol.

I stopped in to Sweet Cravings for breakfast on my last day in Moab. I didn’t know they had a great selection of breakfast choices and pastries.  I had an egg panini with avocado inside. It was excellent. But my favorite were the cookies and pastries. Since I was hitting the road, I needed some snacks for the next few days. I got a large chocolate cookie, fudge brownie and another fudge bar that had caramel and cookie dough with the fudge. That was my favorite of all.  This is a must stop, especially if you like pastries!
