In fact Arches National Park is just a 9 minute drive from downtown Moab! Whether you are visiting Moab Utah for kids time or for time with your significant other, Moab Utah has something for everyone. 📍 Arches National Park - you don’t go to Moab and not visit Arches. We loved seeing Delicate Arch at sunrise and then loved going in at night to stargaze and practice astrophotography 📍 Dead Horse Point - Dead Horse Point is a state park in Moab, Utah. We went for sunrise and sunset. Between the two we recommend sunrise because it is less crowded and the colors cast on the rocks can get CRAZY! 📍 Upper Colorado River Scenic Byway U-128 - We HIGHLY recommend that you spend some time along here. It is a beautiful drive! There are many view points, and many spots for camping, hiking, and access points to the river for water activities. Trust us you don’t want to miss this one! ⛺️ Moab Utah camping - You can camp in many different areas around Moab including some spots inside Arches, Dead Horse point state park, and Canyonlands National Park.

This is a scenic drive that runs right along the Colorado river and we highly recommend driving through there, even if you don’t camp! 🏨 Moab Hotels - Moab Utah also has plenty of options for hotels if you are not the camping type. One of the classics of the area is the Apache Motel in Moab Utah! It’s claim to fame is that John Wayne stayed in this hotel during the filming of many of his classic Western movies! 🥘 Moab Utah restaurants - Moab Utah also has many good restaurants! Our personal favorite was a breakfast spot called Cactus Jacks, and you can not go wrong with anything on their menu!
