Utah’s Canyonlands area is where you'll find, nestled in a fertile green valley between soaring red sandstone cliffs the beautiful town of Moab,
located on the banks of the Colorado River.

Moab is close to several national and state parks that made it a popular destination. Just a few miles north of town is Arches National Park, which contains the world’s largest concentration of natural sandstone arches, including the world-famous Delicate Arch, in addition to a variety of unique geological resources and formations. For the outdoor enthusiast there is a wealth of opportunities for adventure, from river rafting to backcountry 4 wheel drive tours in a Hummer® that can virtually navigate any terrain and it takes you to the top of an awe-inspiring overlook for unforgettable memories. You’ll find a large selection of restaurants to suit all tastes from fast food to world-class gourmet cuisine.
The majestic La Sal Mountains in La Sal serves as a beautiful backdrop to the town attaining heights of 12,721 feet. Here you’ll find narrow forest roads to explore that lead to thigh mountain passes and into narrow canyons like the Dark Canyon where you’ll see the spectacular crystalline rock structure of the peaks, or visit Mill Creek where Oowah Lake sparkles like a small jewel amid spruce trees. In Canyonlands, Rainbow Bridge National Monument is nature's abstract sculpture carved of solid sandstone and is the world's largest natural-rock span, it stands 278 feet wide and 309 feet high and is well worth a visit.
Blanding is an excellent stopping off point for those travelling to other destinations in the area. Within easy driving distance you’ll find Natural Bridges National Monument and the Abajo Mountains, or for some interesting ancient Pueblo Indian ruins, try the Hovenweep National Monument near the town of Bluff, the name Paiute/Ute means “deserted valley” and was once home to more than 2,500 people in 900 A.D.

Straddling the Utah-Colorado border, it forms a group of five well-preserved ruin villages over a twenty-mile radius of mesa tops and canyons, the ruins were built about the same time as medieval fortresses. Along with other pretty towns in the area making excellent exploration bases are: Monument Valley and Bullfrog has a number of cosy, affordable and hospitable bed and breakfast in Utah State to accommodate you.
