Moab Travel Information
Moab is an active, popular town (pop. 8,900) in the heart of the
beautiful red rock canyon country of southeastern Utah. It plays host
to the thousands who visit southeastern Utah to take advantage of the
area's great recreational opportunities. From Moab, one can
conveniently hike in Arches and Canyonlands National Parks, mountain
bike on the famous Moab Slickrock Trail, whitewater raft the Colorado
River, tackle the thousands of miles of rugged canyon roads in
four-wheel drive vehicles or horseback ride amidst the alpine beauty
of the La Sal Mountains.
There’s also some great places to visit within the town itself. A
couple of museums, such as the paleontology and frontier-history
focused Dan O’Laurie Museum and the memorabilia-filled Film Museum at
Red Cliffs Ranch, are worth a stop. Rock art is scattered around the
city, including within the golf course, and more modern art galleries
are also part of Moab.
Moab is located 32 miles south of I-70 on Highway 191 near Arches
and Canyonlands National Parks. View Area
