Moab

Few cities in Utah have a history as closely tied to uranium mining as Moab. Set beside the Colorado River on the Colorado Plateau, it became a centre of the 1950s uranium boom and retains traces of that frontier-era identity. Arches National Park lies just north of town, while Canyonlands National Park extends across rugged river-carved country to the southwest. Moab is also internationally known for mountain biking, four-wheel-drive routes and rafting on the Colorado River, drawing travellers into a landscape of sandstone cliffs, mesas and deep canyons.
