Moab, Utah nestled in the red rocks of Canyonlands
Country is Utah’s Adventure Capitol. The scenery, the
surroundings, the activities, the history – it is all
inviting, and calling you to organize your concert, festival,
ceremony, or conference in Moab!
Moab was first settled in 1855 by Mormons
who quickly abandoned their remote outpost because they were
frightened of the area’s Native American population.
It was resettled in 1876. Since that time, the city and its
people have carved an existence as changing as the eroded
desert around it. Today the primary industry is tourism and
the town seeks to develop the potential for Meetings and Events
all year round.
Canyonlands National Park is the largest
national park in the state, and its diversity staggers the
imagination. An issued special use permit enables small gatherings
for ceremonies among the thousand foot views down into river
canyons, or up, to red rock pinnacles, cliffs and spires are
truly awe-inspiring. The parks geophysical characteristics
have naturally sectioned it into three areas called: Island
in the Sky, the Needles and the Maze. For access of these
backcountry spaces seek the countenance first of locally National
Park concessionairs. These professional outfitters will decidely
aid in navigating the conditions of use for hiking, backpacking,
rafting, canoeing, four wheel driving (on designated roads
only), and mountain biking in canyonlands backcountry.
Public lands managed by the Bureau of Land
Management (BLM) or Utah Trust Lands, also require permits
for events, and make up the bulk of the acres outside of Arches
and Canyonlands National Parks. Upon these granted lands,
a planner may consider erecting an event tent to create an
outstanding ambience for the participants.
Going way back in history, Star Hall, was
Moab's first contrived meeting space. Rennovated in 2008,
the Historic Star Hall, a theater, seats 289 people. The Red
Devil Auditorium seats 650. Other indoor venues are supplied
by local hotels and restaurants.
The past and the present have come together
with tours of the national parks, coupled with activities
within the parks and those that view the past. Visitors see
the geological formations, prehistoric sites, and Indian writing
from the seats of their vehicles, bikes, canoes, kayaks, and
rafts. Hiking to these locations is extremely breathtaking
and an excellent way to really feel the mysteries left of
an earlier time. For more information about Moab Meeting and
