Here is a list of mountain biking trails that will tell you the distance, difficulty and type of ride.

If you don’t have a mountain bike you can rent one at local bike shops here in Moab such as Poison Spider Bike Rental or Chili Pepper Bike Shop.

River Rafting!

Moab is famous for being one of the only cities where the Colorado River is accessible without having to go down the Grand Canyon!

Colette used to give guided river tours in this area.

Our favorite company for gear (and a guide if you feel you need one) is Wild West Voyages https://www.wildwestvoyages.com/tour-category/moab-colorado-river-rafting-tours.

They have the gear, the guide (if needed) and the shuttles at a moments notice (which in Moab is at least the day before).

If you don't have much time - 'cuz, you know, you're going to a wedding - Do the MOAB DAILY. Our favorite is Lower Onion Creek to Sandy Beach. It'll take about 3 hours, but they'll will have been some of the best hours of your life. Plus, you'll now have bragging rights for having rafted the Colorado River!
