Moab Adventure Center offered a sunset safari hummer tour and this was fun and had a great experience watching all the colors of the sunset.

Approaching from Cisco, Utah in the northeast you will traverse 10 miles of high desert plain before reaching the Colorado River. From that point, the road follows the river for 36 miles before reaching Moab. The road traverses an amazing red rock canyon with points for access to the river and scenic spots such as Fisher Towers, a must-see spot.
5. AreaBFE
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 53 reviews
AreaBFE is a 320 acre recreational park for many different outdoor activities. (Camping, motorized recreation, hiking, biking, and/or just hanging out.) The park had been a dream of ours and in April 2004 that dream became reality for a group of guys who had a vision; "Create a place where people could go without the threat of being kicked-off of a fun little playground and insure that people will always have a place to recreate!" Since then, we've been working to make trails, camping areas and many other fun destination points on the property. This project has reassured our faith in the OHV community and the values these people hold close to their hearts. We invite you to come and enjoy this place with an open mind to adventure and great times. AreaBFE is open and free to the public 365 days/year. We accept donations to assist with the overall upkeep. There's a donation statue near the entry for those who wish to help support our endeavor. We also host corporate events, club gatherings, competitions, music festivals and weddings to raise money for AreaBFE.

We had a great day in Arches driving our 23 ft. RV. We got to the entrance before opening and the double line each was about 50 to 75 vehicles ahead of us. Hint: If in an RV, Get to the Devils Garden Parking Area immediately and claim an RV space. Our experience was that all the spaces went to cars and trucks that double parked in the RV spaces. We tried to park there twice during the day - late morning and mid-afternoon and were shut out both times. If you are staying at Devils Garden campground, this is not an issue for you. Nonetheless, we had a fabulous day touring the viewpoints and hiking.We did all the hikes in the Windows section, the Delicate Arch Trail (difficult) , both Delicate Arch viewpoint, Sand Dune Arch and Skyline Arch. We also hiked the Broken Arch/ Tapestry Arch loop in a clock-wise direction leaving from the Sand Dune Arch Parking Area. We went partway to the Tapestry Arch but stopped because it became difficult. It definitely was more than moderate scrambling for us. The section from the hike from the Campground to the Sand Dune Parking Area had some sections with more than moderate scrambling. In a day, we saw a large section of the NP. Only the Pine Tree and Tunnel Arches escaped us.
7. Dinosaur Diamond Scenic Byway

You could easily spend an entire vacation just visiting all the places along the Dinosaur Diamond in western Colorado and eastern Utah. We did the entire northern part of the route, except for the Cleveland Lloyd fossil quarry when the kids were youing before I even typed my first tripadvisor review. Since then, we have gone back to the southern section many times, most recently on our trip to Moab this month. Taylor B has done an excellent job of describing the entire route so I won't repeat it all here. Be sure to pick up a guide at any Colorado or Utah welcome center for a detailed route and site description so you don't miss lesser known sites like the Mill Canyon trackway just north of Moab.

This spectacular bicycle trail follows the Colorado River.
Reviewed By O722VSkenb
This is a fantastic drive. The Colorado river, otherworldly potash evaporation pools, petroglyphs, dinosaur tracks, amazing geology, movie sites and then the hair-raising switchbacks up to the Island in the Sky section of Canyonlands. You'll need a high clearance vehicle, preferably 4x4. Short wheel base will help on the switchbacks; that big ole pickem up truck gonna be hanging out over space. Leave the Accord at home for this one. I'd love to do it again.

A 30-mile trail on the easy side, winding upwards through hoodoos.

We happened to find this hidden gem on our way the Base Camp Adventure Lodge for some disc golfing. If you are into off roading and awesome never forget scenery, you want to make sure to take this route. We were lucky to upgrade to a Jeep Wrangler with our rental which easily handled the road. Outside of a couple spots with rocks up higher than others, we easily made it to our destination. Just be careful on your turns and watch for oil pan busters! Many awesome photo spots, including spectacular views of the Colorado River, to stop and take in the landscape. As many have said before, pictures can’t show the awesomeness of this area! Would/will definitely do this again.
