Moab Springs Ranch

Overview

Thanks to its natural springs, this region has drawn in Ute people, ranchers and Butch Cassidy. Bobby and Ethel Kennedy once honeymooned in the area’s ranch house, which is now listed on the National Historic Register. You can stay here, too — or visit from downtown Moab (just a mile south) on your way to Arches National Park (4 miles north).

Take to Two Wheels

Get on your bike (or rent a pair of wheels) for an invigorating ride. Head to the top of the La Sal Mountains and cruise down on the famed Whole Enchilada Trail. Then stroll around the Moab Giants, a park dedicated to dinosaurs, before dinner at Moab Brewery.

Explore the National Parks

Spend your last day at two national parks, Arches and Canyonlands. One easy, rewarding hike is the Delicate Arch Trail (but the visitors center, just inside the park, can point you to the trail that suits you best). Afterward, get back in the car and take the 22-mile scenic drive through the park before heading to nearby Canyonlands National Park for more shape-shifted red rocks and a stunning sunset. Then it’s time for dinner at Sunset Grill.
