Known throughout the world for its unparalleled mountain biking, the Moab, Utah area is also a river rafting hotspot. World famous Cataract Canyon, located southwest of Moab, spans approximately 112 miles of river, providing adventurous souls both fantastic scenery and the thrills and chills of turbulent rapids (up to Class V). Novice rafters will appreciate the stretch of river paralleling UT 128, which provides a shorter, peaceful ride that contains far fewer rapids. Many local outfitters, such as Tag-A-Long Expeditions and Red River Adventures, offer single-day and multi-day river trips along these and other routes. The friendly staff at Motel 6, one of the closest motels to the river, will be happy to help you book one of these guided tours and answer your questions about other recreation options in southeastern Utah.
Besides offering river-rafting opportunities, Moab and its environs are full of movie-making lore. The area has hosted film crews since 1949, when legendary director John Ford discovered the area. It has served as a backdrop for a wide variety of films, from classic westerns such as "Wagon Master" and "Rio Grande," to recent films such as "Mission Impossible II" and "Thelma and Louise." Commemorating this Hollywood history, the Film Museum at Red Cliffs Ranch displays exhibits highlighting the movies filmed in the region. The museum lies less than a half hour from the Moab Motel 6, an ideal choice among area motels as a base camp for your southeastern Utah adventures.
