Moab is flanked by two national parks and one state park and is a Mecca for those that love the great outdoors. A small city near the Colorado border in eastern Utah, the four-hour drive from Salt Lake City or the 300-mile trek from Breckenridge makes it a great long weekend destination.Most known for its otherworldly rock formations, the unique landscape in this part of Utah begs to be experienced. The region has impressive views and is best known for Arches National Park, north of town, which contains curious brilliant red rock formations and Native American rock art.
