Moab, Utah located in southeastern Utah
has become a mecca for the adventurous spirit. Moab is the
gateway to two of Utah’s five National Parks, a State
Park and a hub for attractions and activities in Southeastern
Utah. Moab is the perfect year-round destination in the State
of Utah to Mix Business with Pleasure. Add this desirable
incentive to reward your colleagues, board or assocaition
members for remaining productive during this economic downturn.
A quick look at Moab's
meeting facilites will start the planner to consider the
potential of doing business in Moab and that there is plenty
of activity to complement the selection of Moab's destination.
Outdoor Pursuits arel hiking,
biking, jeeping, golfing, rafting, canoeing, kayaking, swimming,
fishing, jet boating, skydiving, RVing, climbing and relaxing.
In addition, the calendar of events highlights the number
of festivals, shows and tournaments that are held on an annual
basis in the community. Think of this a resume of possibilities,
as you continue to develop your meeting, product launch or
event in Moab. The Matheson Wetlands Preserves has a pathway
that is beautiful, quiet and abundant with birds and other
wildlife during particular times of the year. The downtown
area is abundant with gift shops, book stores, clothing shops,
galleries, map shops, MillCreek Parkway (walking path), information
centers and restaurants. Also downtown are banks and ATM machines.
On the southern end of the town is a triple screen indoor
theatre, an amusement park, and the Old Spanish Trail Arena,
which hosts numerous events throughout the year. On the northern
end of the town there is the Colorado River Pedestrian Bridge
which links pedestrians and bicyclists to trails north of
Moab.
Moab has a variety of restaurants to serve
group feasts, if needed. The list includes two Microbreweries
with full menu service, Szechuan, Thai, Mexican, Italian,
American, and fast food restaurants. There is also the Bar
M Chuckwagon that serves dinner on a nightly basis and includes
staged gunfights and entertainment, and the Canyonlands By
Night ride that is dinner, entertainment and a sound and light
show on the Colorado River. Please also utilize Moab's landscapes
for an outdoor affair. Several local outfitters have portable
kitchens to serve sit down galas or more informal buffets
housed under the sky or beneath an event tent.
Moab is home to Castle Creek Winery and Spanish Valley
Vineyards and Winery. Both wineries feature wines made
from locally grown grapes, both have tasting rooms, tours
of the winery and a place to purchase wine. The open hours
for the wineries vary, so a call ahead to plan would be
wise.
For the adventurous soul Moab is the gateway
to the world famous Slickrock Bike Trail, Colorado River Rafting,
technical four-wheeling, hiking ranging from very easy to
very strenuous, and world class climbing and canyoneering.
A collaboration of Licensed Massage Therapists and alternative
health practictioners have a plethora of exercises, education,
and treatments to add to your business meeting program.
The views from the many vistas and canyons will take your
breath away. The terrain in Canyonlands is without a doubt
some of the most diverse, picturesque, breathtaking landscape
that you will probably ever encounter. Vacationers that
are looking for solitude are certainly in the right location.
There are many places that one can visit where there will
be crowds, but there are many more locations that you can
get completely away from the crowds and enjoy the peaceful
beauty surrounding you.
