Parks Near Moab Utah

Dead Horse Point State Park Dead Horse Point is one of Utah's most spectacular state parks. Towering 2,000 feet above the Colorado River, the park provides a breathtaking panorama of Canyonlands' sculpted pinnacles and buttes. Access to Dead Horse Point is nine miles north of Moab on US 191. (Turn west on SR 313, then go 22 miles.) The visitor center, interpretive museum, developed campground and large overlook shelter make the park comfortable and informative as well as spectacular. It is open from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily.

Arches National Park Located just 10 minutes outside of Moab, this beautiful national park offers scenery unlike no other. Arches out of sandstone and clay rock are highlighted throughout the park.

Canyonlands National Park Canyonlands preserves a colorful landscape eroded into countless canyons, mesas and buttes by the Colorado River and its tributaries. The rivers divide the park into four districts: the Island in the Sky, the Needles, the Maze and the rivers themselves. While these areas share a primitive desert atmosphere, each retains its own character and offers different opportunities for exploration.

Castle Valley and Hwy 128 Follow Highway 128 along the Colorado River, to I-70. About 60 miles from I-70, this highway offers some spectacular views of famous rock formations. Several movie scenes have been filmed throughout this very scenic valley. Castle Valley just off to the right, offers a lush green setting with several vineyards. Wine tasting is available at some of the local vineyards.
