Moab is a launching point for visiting some of the most magnificent parks in the country: The spectacular red rock landscape of Arches National Park, an “Island in the Sky,” Canyonlands National Park (video), and the gorgeous Dead Horse Point State Park with the breathtaking views of the meandering Colorado River some 2,000 feet below. After you spend days of biking, hiking, or four-wheeling through any or all of the parks, you will come back to charming Moab, with a lively music scene, excellent bars and restaurants, and a few attractions you might want to see. The Moab Backyard Theater is a fun outdoor theater beneath a big cottonwood tree. Dark Sky Programs and Full Moon Hikes will take you back to the parks to show you the rocks and the sky as you have seen nowhere else.
