Are you ready to head outdoors and experience the true West in Moab? Photo courtesy: Utah Tourism Moab’s early claim to fame was Uranium mining prior to gaining prestige as a Slick Rock Capitol. If you are looking for a diverse list of options to satisfy each member of your family – look no further than Moab, Utah. What other place on the planet offers the ultimate combination of outdoor adventure – Western-style? Check out the slick rock trails for mountain bikes and jeeps, and then relax along the banks of the Colorado River and red cliffs, which served as the backdrop for many of your favorite Western movies. Plus, you will be within minutes of two of Utah’s ﬁve National Parks. The small resort town of Moab provides a unique combination of beautiful red rock scenery, along with the cool waters of the Colorado River, which has made it one of the most sought after destinations in the southwest among outdoor enthusiasts. Moab is the perfect base camp for world-class mountain biking, challenging four wheel driving, or river expeditions of just about any length or experience level. For a more relaxing visit just sit back and enjoy the views from the national parks, scenic drives, or along Moab’s three Scenic Byways. Drive a few minutes away from town and you will ﬁnd yourself surrounded by the out-of-this-world red rock landscape of Arches National Park. Utah’s trademark arch found on the state license plate is among the breathtaking arches of this awesome National Park.
