    There are so many things to do in Moab, Utah, but what are the best things to do? This epic place has canyons, rivers, hiking trails, mountain biking, museums, boat tours, rock formations, winery’s, historic sights, jeep tours, national parks, the list seems to be endless. So it can be hard to know where to start when booking a trip or planning a quick visit. Especially if you are a complete outsider to Utah or the United States in general. We’ve put together a list of the fourteen best things to do in Moab, Utah.
    Here’s a quick taste: Moab Museum of Film and Western Heritage. This museum is located within the Red Cliffs Lodge, which are both part of the Red Cliffs Ranch. This ranch has been a filming location for many films. Some of the most notable films that were shot on this ranch include, Warlock, Geronimo, Rio Grande and Thelma & Louise. In the late 1940’s, the legendary filmmaker John Ford discovered the rugged beauty of Moab’s canyonlands and filmed the first of many movies at the ranch. Hollywood stars such as John Wayne, Henry Ford, James Stewart, Anthony Quinn and Rock Hudson have all worked on location at Red Cliffs Ranch. If film and history isn’t your thing, maybe mountain biking is more for you.
    We’ve got you covered with biking the Slickrock Trail. The Slickrock Trail is a popular mountain biking destination. This 10.5-mile trail takes riders over a landscape of petrified sand dunes and the eroded remnants of ancient sea beds. Mountain bikers rate the Slickrock Trail as one of the more difficult rides in the Moab area, both technically and cardiovascularly. That’s just a couple of examples. So stick with us as we take you through the fourteen best things to do in Moab, Utah. Enjoy the video and get planning on your exciting trip to Moab, soon.

    At 5:02, you called called Henry FONDA Henry FORD!!
    Also, you mentioned that the Colorado River begins in Colorado and flows through Utah, Arizona, and California, on its way to Mexico. Actually, it NEVER flows THROUGH California, it only BORDERS California (on its right bank, before entering Mexico). And you forgot about Nevada; the river's right bank borders on the Silver State (passing right in front of Laughlin, immediately below Mojave Reservoir) prior to bordering on California.
    Finally, I would add Grandstaff Canyon to your list. This is a terrific 2 - 3 hour hike on a side canyon of the river's left bank, about 5 miles above town. It features a spring-fed stream that flows year-round and an impressive arch at the upper end of the hike, plus lots of trees and shade. It is also a great hike to do with your 🐕.

    Beware ATV, UTV people that think you can ride your “street legal” machines on the streets of Moab. The rules have changed. Democrats have infested this town built on off-road activities. If you are from a state that registers your street legal machine through the DNR versus the DMV, you are no longer legal in Moab. This means you will be forced to trailer to each individual trails and are no longer welcome in town to spend money at gas stations, restaurants, pharmacies, or any of the other small businesses that exist because of you. A DMV versus DNR licensed vehicle has no advantage with the exception of Moab giving you a ticket and collecting the money. (Democrat modus operandi). It’s an excuse to tax you. I have been going there for the last 8 years, and sadly will not return. I’m not trailering my ATV from trail to trail with my 67’ Motorhome/trailer. They must be nuts in Moab to allow this. I see this town turning into a ghost town in no time at all. Another example of the left infecting an American Town.
