Grand County

The state of Utah is not only a gateway to some of the most spectacular national parks in the USA, the region around Moab and its surroundings is particularly well-known as a Mecca for outdoor enthusiasts. Covering more than 9,500 km², this breathtaking natural landscape has been shaped over thousands of years. Moab is famous for two "Mighty 5" national parks: Arches National Park with its more than 2,000 natural stone arches and the nearby Canyonlands National Park attract visitors from all over the world every year.

Both national parks and the nearby Dead Horse Point State Park offer picturesque hiking experiences, including the legendary Delicate Arch Trail and the Devils Garden Trail. But Moab also has plenty to offer adventures away from the hiking trails: Mountain bikers can let off steam on the famous Slickrock Trail. Climbers will find first-class routes in Indian Creek, while the Colorado River invites you to exciting rafting adventures. Stargazing is no less breathtaking an experience: certified dark sky parks are the perfect place to admire the clear night sky. But Moab is not only popular for its nature: the town's charming Main Street offers a colorful mix of restaurants, cafés, galleries and boutiques. And if you want to unwind after an active day, the region's charming wineries are the ideal place to relax.
