Looking for a place to experience the beauty of red-rock canyon country? Or maybe a jumping-off point for one of the hottest mountain biking meccas on the planet? You'll find both in Moab, which refers both to a town and a nearby complex of public lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management. It is located just four miles from Arches National Park and 45 miles from Canyonlands, this small town in southeastern Utah offers visitors an amazing array of activities set against a Martianesque backdrop of canyons, towers, and arches. Moab is flanked to the east by the La Sal Mountains, which rise beyond 12,000 feet; the cool, green high-country terrain offers a refreshing contrast to the desert wilds below. With a generally mild climate and unexpected environmental variety, Moab is a magnet for year-round outdoor adventure.During your visit to Moab, learn to recognize and preserve cryptobiotic soil crusts. This delicate complex of soil and slowly growing algae, mosses, bacteria, and lichens retains water, reduces erosion, and provides a stable base from which higher plants can flourish.
