Moab
Your getaway to Moab
Moab gives you a little of everything, and all of it is good. Start with the one icon that matters: Delicate Arch in the soft light of late afternoon. Drive up to Dead Horse Point for the grand canyon view without the grand canyon crowds. Wander Main Street's galleries and gear shops, then lunch at the food truck park where everyone ends up. Take an easy riverside walk in Negro Bill Canyon, where a natural bridge waits at the end. The Moab Giants dinosaur museum surprises even the museum-averse. Sunset from the windows section of Arches needs no planning, just presence. Dinner at the Sunset Grill pairs mesquite cooking with a view of the cliffs you just walked. One evening, drive out of town and let the dark sky finish the day. You'll leave with a taste of the desert and a reason to return.
