Known for its abundance of mountain bike trails, the Moab, Utah area is also a prime spot for hiking and river rafting. The public lands along the Colorado River just north of town are popular places for recreation. For example, the section of river along UT 128, located just over a mile from Motel 6 is a great place for rafters seeking a stretch with few rapids. UT 128 also features two breathtaking hiking trails, Fisher Towers, which boasts spires up to 900 feet tall, and Negro Bill Canyon, which ends at a natural bridge. Paralleling the other side of the river further downstream, UT 279 includes two other hikes, Portal Overlook and Corona/Bowtie Arch. Less than four miles south of the Corona Arch trailhead, you can see a set of petroglyphs and Jughandle Arch on the right side of the road. Lodging at Motel 6 will put you less than three miles from the turnoffs (from US 191) to these two scenic drives.
Enveloped by the incredible red rock scenery of southeastern Utah, the Motel 6 in Moab lies mere minutes from Arches National Park. Lodging at the Motel 6 will also put you only 30 miles from Dead Horse Point State Park and the Island in the Sky district of Canyonlands National Park. At an elevation of 6,100 feet, the Island in the Sky towers 1,000 feet above the surrounding terrain. Every one of its viewpoints furnishes you with vistas of mesas, buttes, spires, and deep chasms that span 100 miles in many directions. Island in the Sky also features numerous short hiking trails appropriate for the entire family, such as the Mesa Arch Trail, which ends at a photogenic natural arch, and the Aztec Butte Trail, which exhibits ancestral Puebloan Indian ruins.
A perfect lodging base camp for your recreation adventures in southeastern Utah, Motel 6's location at the northern end of Moab is only four miles from the entrance of Arches National Park. Moab Golf Club is only seven miles south. Great restaurants such as Denny's, Desert Bistro, La Hacienda, Buck's Grill House, Eklecticafe and the Broken Oar Restaurant are all within one mile of Motel 6. We are also within three miles of Butch Cassidy King World Water Park and the Dan O'Laurie Museum, which chronicles local history from ancient times to the present.
