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. Its weather is conducive to travel any season, with mild winters, cool springs and falls and warm summers.

A quick look through the calendar of events will lead each visitor to know that there is plenty of activity to keep them very busy, besides the usual hiking, biking, jeeping, golfing, rafting, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, fishing, climbing and relaxing. The calendar of events highlights the number of festivals, shows and tournaments that are held on an annual basis in the community. 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, clothing shops, galleries, map shops, information stations and restaurants. Also downtown are banks and ATM machines. On the southern end of the town is a triple screen indoor theatre, and an amusement park-all of which are open on a daily basis. On the northern end of the town there is the Butch Cassidy King World Water Park with three waterslides, wading pools, swimming pools, a snack house and more.

Moab has a variety of restaurants that are sure to please anyone traveling. The list includes two Microbreweries with full menu service, Szechuan, 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.

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, class II & III rapids on the Colorado River, technical four-wheeling, hiking ranging from very easy to very strenuous, and climbing that compares to world class climbing.

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.
