A great alternative to the road.

The Wolfe Ranch in Arches National Park is a historic settlement site and the starting point for the hike to the famous Delicate Arch. A simple log cabin (built in 1906) and other remnants (such as a cellar and a pen) of a small ranch founded by Civil War veteran John Wesley Wolfe in the late 19th century. Located on Salt Wash, northeast of present-day Moab, where Wolfe and his family attempted to raise cattle and farm in isolation, the ranch remains serve as a historical attraction and a parking area and trailhead for the popular Delicate Arch hiking trail and a short trail to petroglyphs (rock carvings). It offers a glimpse into the harsh pioneer life in arid Utah.

This is a great place to end your run, with a beautiful view over the Colorado River. Take a moment to enjoy the landscape before heading back.

One of the wildest runs in Moab, with rolling slickrock, steep climbs, and nonstop views. The traction’s great, but it’s tough on the legs. Follow the white markings, bring plenty of water, and don’t expect an easy cruise. This trail is also popular with mountain bikers—and mostly used by them—so stay alert and be respectful.

The Maob Canyon Pathway is a 9 mile paved bike path that starts on Highway 128, just north of Moab. It is a great way to get into or out of Moab without having to share the road with traffic.
