Utah: Canyonlands, Moab, and Arches

Unlike any landscape on the planet, the area around Moab, Utah has to be seen, felt, and explored by everyone at some point in the arc of their life. Nestled next to the mighty Colorado River and in between Arches and Canyonlands National Parks, Moab will be our home base for this adventure packed retreat of hiking, mt. biking, rafting, yoga, and soaking in the dramatic sandstone cliffs and high desert of eastern Utah.

We’ll enjoy 6 days and 5 nights alongside the Colorado River at the Red Cliffs Lodge where we will soak in the red rock cliffs while we do yoga in front of the still undammed river.

We will explore some of the over 2,000 natural sandstone arches in Arches National Park, including a sunset hike to the famous Delicate Arch. We’ll also venture into the Islands in the Sky portion of Canyonlands National Park to hike among the cliffs plunging down to the powerful Colorado and Green Rivers. We’ll also mountain bike on easy trails in the area many call the Mountain Bike Capital of the World on trails suited for your confidence and skills. And no trip to Moab is complete without a rafting or kayak trip down the Colorado River, passing spectacular scenery and enjoying the high desert’s fall sunshine.
