Moab: Recreation
Moab is about getting out and seeing the country. The red rock country of Southern Utah has some of the finest natural eye candy of the planet. From unbelievable arches and natural bridges to towering cliffs over the Colorado River.
It is a place worth seeing and preserving. The best way to see the land is on foot, raft or bike. You will also find guides and four wheeling sites to help you get into the remote back country.
The lodging section has web sites for dozens of motels, bed and breakfasts, condos, cabins and other lodges serving the area. The main thing is to get out side and enjoy as much of the high desert sunshine as humanly possible during your sojourn in the area.
Upcoming Events: Canyonlands Rodeo (2012-05-31), Tri-Festival (2012-06-08), Desert RATS MTB Tour (2012-06-17), Endurance Ride (2012-10-18), Other Half (2012-10-21) ... more.
