There’s no place on Earth quite like Moab, Utah. Millions of people flock there every year from every corner of the planet to hike, bike, raft, off-road, and generally enjoy the otherworldly scenery and unique terrain.
Moab has multiple personalities. Framed by two national parks, etched with more than a thousand miles of mountain-bike trails, home to hundreds of canyons, ravines, rock walls, and a major river, outdoor enthusiasts arriving in Moab might not even know where to begin. Luckily, there are plenty of Good Sam campgrounds that allow for rest and relaxation in between all the adventure. Campgrounds like Moab Valley RV Resort even has heated pools for the perfect relaxation after a long hike.
Sandwiched between Arches and Canyonlands National Parks in Utah’s red-rock desert, the town is considered the gateway to Utah’s famous The Mighty 5® National Parks. But that’s just the beginning. Moab is also one of America’s great multisport destinations. A trip there can be as varied as pedaling its world-class singletrack mountain biking trails to hiking its famed national parks to paddleboarding or rafting the Colorado River.
Moab shines in the shoulder season, spring and fall, when the weather is at its best and temperatures are just about perfect. Even winter is a great time to visit. A typical day can entail backcountry skiing in the nearby La Sal Mountains and biking sunbaked slickrock trails in the same day.
