A good starting point for exploring the area.

Moab is a desert gateway town built for adventurers, framed by red-rock arches and mesas all set along the Colorado River. It’s the ideal base for exploring world-famous landscapes like Arches and Canyonlands National Parks, plus slickrock mountain biking, rafting excursions, and scenic drives through rugged canyon country. Downtown offers a nice mix of good food, galleries, gear shops, and local hospitality.

Moab is a desert town surrounded by stunning red rock landscapes, and is a hub for hiking, mountain biking, and river rafting. It serves as the gateway to Arches and Canyonlands National Parks, making it a popular stop for explorers and nature enthusiasts.

This paved, off-the-road bike trail runs all the way from just north of Moab to the entrance for Arches National Park, and a few miles beyond. If you have enough power in your quads, you can even use this as a link-up to ride all the way to Canyonlands National Park.

The Courthouse Wash Pictographs are a series of incredible pictographs (images painted onto the wall) by many different indigenous peoples of the course of centuries. This remarkable panel stretches along a 100-meter section of cliff side. The oldest images are somewhere between at least 1,500 and 4,000 years old, and are in the Barrier Canyon Style, a distinctive artistic form that is primarily found in the San Rafael Swell and Canyonlands National Park. Other carved images were likely added by the Fremont people in about 1000-1200 AD. The newest type of historical images on the panel depict people on horseback, and are attributed to the Navajos or Utes beginning in the 16th century. Unfortunately, although the Courthouse Wash Pictographs were placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976, this amazing site was vandalized in 1980. It has since been restored and protected by the National Park for you to enjoy and marvel at this part of ancient history.

You can get amazing views without ever going past the visitor center, but you're also allowed to bike down the main park road if you like. Or, for a different but equally scenic experience, you can bike the paved roadside path between here and Moab.

The Moab Brands Trails, aka Bar M Trails, have a little something for everyone. You'll find cruisey singletrack loop perfect for beginners, challenging technical sections for intermediates looking to improve their skills, and white knuckle downhill runs for experts only. Keep in mind that some trails are one-way only, so be sure you're not caught heading in the wrong direction.

The Slickrock Trail is a popular trail for mountain bikers. While not suitable for road bikes, the trailhead has parking, picnic tables, and restrooms, so it is a good place to start a ride or for a mid-ride bathroom break.
