Things to do in Moab for first-time visitors
Last Updated: October 2, 2026
Part of Moab adventure destination. Independent directory, not a booking service.
A first Moab day is one trail product, not three. Pick a guided jeep or a guided UTV. Add a river half-day only if the morning is already booked.
Best for
- Guided jeep or UTV on a named trail. Hell's Revenge is the name you will see. A first-timer does not have to start there.
- One river block if the season has flow: raft or jet boat.
- Leave the tower climb and the canyon for day two.
Less ideal
Skip on day one: a self-drive rental on Hell's Revenge, a midday summer start, a hike you are treating as the adventure plan.
Season
March–May and September–November. In June–August, take the first departure and stop by noon.
