Moab Utah, Hiking, Biking, Sightseeing, Arches NP, the Potash Road
Moab,Utah,s mining activities led to the construction of many roads through
the hills built by uranium prospectors. These roads are now hiking and biking
trails and trails to climbing areas.
Mountain Biking:
Moab's Slick Rock Bike Trail, a trail over petrified dunes designed at first
for motorcycles, put Moab on the map of European adventure travelers, who now
come in great numbers to test their biking skills on the Slick Rock Trail.
A one-mile practice run lets you know if you have the technical skills to handle the
tough parts of the trail.
The Colorado River runs through Moab and this adds another dimension to
the outdoor experience with float trips and extended raft trips leaving from boat
ramps on the Potash Road in Moab.
Hiking and Four Wheeling are also important in Moab. Old mining roads
from the days of uranium exploration are everywhere. The scenery is
spectacular in a harsh and beautiful land offering some great views of the natural
landscape shaped by the elemental forces of the Colorado River, the wind, and
millions of years of sediment, uplift, folding, faulting, and earthquake. Annual
rallies bring four wheelers to Moab. May and September 4-Wheel Rallies
Bike and Hiking Trails over the eroded landscape of petrified sand dunes
and stratified layers of variously colored deposits, mostly red, spread over a
huge area and make Moab a unique place of freedom and wide open vistas.

Clubs and Restaurants, hotels and RV parks are available in the small town
that is a support base for hiking, biking, rafting, cliff climbing, camping, and four
wheeling in the vast rock playground that is the Moab Valley. September Music
