There are no dead equines at this park, just spectacular
views. Located near the town of Moab about 18 miles off hwy
191 you get incredible views of the Colorado River 2,000
feet below.

Hovenweep
National Monument
A remote and haunting place. Not a lot of folks visit
this place but it's one of my favorites. Mysterious
sandstone towers built by Native Americans over a thousand
years ago. If you want solitude, mystery and don't
mind getting off the beaten path then come discover
this place.

Manti
La Sal National Forest
These are the big mountains that shadow the town of Moab
and are distinct contrast to the desert landscape. The La
Sals reach 12,000 feet in elevation and are the second tallest
mountain range in Utah besides the Uintas. Hiking, camping,
snowshoeing, skiing, snowmobiling, atv'ing, mountain biking
and mountaineering are all enjoyed in this outdoor wonderland.

Natural
Bridges National Monument
Natural Bridges National Monument is not in
Moab but close enough for a day trip especially if you are
visiting Anasazi ruins in the 4 Corners area south of Moab.
