There’s always something new to learn.
Moab is more than Utah’s adventure capital — it’s Earth’s natural sculpture garden. Wedged between Arches and Canyonlands National Parks, this tiny town punches way above its weight in both geology and spirit. From red rock arches that seem plucked from a dream to Martian-like mesas carved by millennia of wind and time, Moab rewrites your sense of scale, silence, and color.
It’s a place where sunsets feel like the world is ending — beautifully. And while it may look like the backdrop to a Western (because it is), Moab’s got its own rhythm of bikers, climbers, stargazers, and solitude-seekers.
Let’s see what we discover.
Things you didn’t know about Moab.
5. Moab’s rocks are older than dinosaurs.
Some formations in the area are more than 300 million years old, predating not just dinosaurs — but forests and flowers too.
