Outdoor Moab

Moab Highlights

  • Corona Arch and Bowtie Arch Trail takes you to a pair of large but very different arches in about three miles roundtrip—a great day hike.
  • Dozens of challenging mountain-biking trails traverse astonishing canyon landscapes near Moab. Conditions are best in spring (mid-March to late May) and fall (mid-Sept. to late Oct.).
  • Moab companies offer many options for day and multi-day trips on the Green and Colorado Rivers near Moab. You can also organize an excursion with either your own gear or rentals.
  • First climbed in the 1960s, the dramatic spires of Fisher Towers now attract many rock climbers willing to work out the challenges of ascending the soft rock. The towers are a major landmark 25 miles northeast of Moab.
  • If you’re new to the sport of canyoneering, check out the Moab companies that provide the gear and know-how to get deep into spectacular slot canyons.
