6 Miles from Hell’s Revenge 4x4 Trail

6 Miles from Slickrock
Trail
Not for the beach cruiser, the famous Slickrock Trail is where to test your mountain bike mettle. People on shod horses gave it its slippery name; modern mountain bike tires actually find better-than-average purchase on the sandpaper texture. (So will your skin, though, so try to stay upright.) The trail is a challenging 13-mile loop over prehistoric terrain. You’ll absolutely need your own tools, tubes and H20.
9 Minutes from Arches National Park
Bordered by the Colorado River in the southeast, it’s known as the site of more than 2,000 natural sandstone arches, such as the massive, red-hued Delicate Arch in the east. Long, thin Landscape Arch stands in Devils Garden to the north. Other geological formations include Balanced Rock, towering over the desert landscape in the middle of the park.
15 Miles from Giants Dinosaur Park
Walk where dinosaurs stomped along the Dinosaur Tracks Trail at Utah’s real life Jurassic Park. The Dinosaur Trail and interactive Tracks Museum are definitely worth the drive if you’d like to take your dinosaur knowledge out of the books and into the desert landscape where these creatures once roamed.
18 Miles from Corona & Bowtie Arches
This is a great hike to a giant arch- and the best part is, it’s outside of Arches National Park! So if you do not want to buy a pass into the park, this is the hike for you. It’s free! Two arches for one hike. It’s kid friendly too!
21 Miles from Castle Creek Winery
Given Moab’s arid desert climate, you wouldn’t think it would be a great place for a winery, but in the go-go-try-anything 1970s some people figured out that the cool nights and dry hot days above 4,000 feet are perfect for producing tasty grapes.
30 Miles from Hittle
