The falls were constructed back in 1981 along with Ken’s Lake and yes as the name implies they’re fake AKA this is a manmade waterfall.
This waterfall is exactly what we needed after a long, hot day of mountain biking at Amasaback.
We were lucky enough to show up and have this place to ourselves, which was a big SCORE in our books! However, in the past when we’ve been to Faux Falls, it was a little too crowded for our tastes.
So be forewarned that this location might be busy, especially during spring break.
5. Stand Up Paddle Board
One of our favorite ways to spend a hot day in Moab is to stand up paddle board (SUP) on the Colorado River.
The twisting red rock canyons are unlike any other on earth, the towering cliffs, sandstone domes, and cold river water makes this a perfect thing to do in Moab on a hot day.
You can rent SUPs and/or kayaks at Moab Adventure Center right on Main street, or better yet book a Stand Up Paddle Board Tour for the ultimate experience.
ALTERNATIVE OPTION TO PADDLING THE RIVER: If you’d rather not stand up paddle on the river, but still want to get out on the water, take your paddleboard over to Ken’s lake where you can paddle, relax, and enjoy a picnic!
6. Swim at the Moab Recreation and Aquatic Center (A Great Thing to do With Kids)
There’s no better way to beat the heat than a nice cool dip in a Moab swimming pool.
The MRAC offers an indoor and outdoor lap pool, a large leisure pool, and some slides and fountains for fun!

7. Grab a Bite to Eat at the Moab Food Truck Park
The Moab Food Truck Park is one of our favorite things to do in downtown Moab and should not to be missed.
With offerings for breakfast lunch and dinner this area makes for a very affordable place to get a bite to eat.
I’m not sure how often these food trucks switch out, or if they do, but when we were there we had some fabulous tacos that we’d recommend to anyone!
As well as some Thai food that we are excited to try next time.
This is a very popular place to eat so if you’re planning on eating here go early because once a truck runs out of food they typically close down for the day!
We learned this the hard way when we had our heart set on a quesadilla after a good ride and the truck had already closed.
8. Moab Arts and Recreation Center (Perfect Thing to do in Moab on a Rainy Day)
The Moab Arts and Recreation is a place where people who have a love for art come to gather.

One of our favorite things to do in downtown Moab is to check out the Moab Gear Trader which offers both new and used outdoor gear.
11. Get a Cold One at Moab Brewery
One of our favorite places to get a drink after a hot day in the sun is at the Moab Brewery.
We have a soft spot in our hearts for this brewery because the founder, John Borkoski, also started one of our favorite breweries in Mccall, Idaho, where we lived for 16 years.
This place serves up their own tasty microbrews, some quality food and offers a decent happy hour during certain times of the year.
If you’re into IPA’s I recommend trying out their Johnny’s American IPA.

When visiting the park shoot for early mornings or evenings to catch the best light and skip the crowds. Arches is open year-round and we highly recommend visiting in the winter.
Keep in mind that Moab is VERY busy during Spring Break making the Arches a wildly popular destination so prepare for large crowds and a long wait to get into the park.

Monolithic Majesty! Scenic Byway 128, which is known by the locals as the “River Road” is one of the most interesting and breathtaking drives.
On this 44 mile one way drive you’ll explore canyons carved by the Colorado River as you make your way through red rock country, with spectacular mesas, natural springs, and enough red rock to overwhelm the senses.
If you’re looking for a quick hike along the drive, hit up Grandstaff Canyon just 3 miles outside of Moab.
This hike is a little over two miles one-way and leads to Morning Glory Natural Bridge.
After your hike we recommend driving a bit further down Byway 128 till you hit Fisher Tower, a towering monolith famous in many western movies and a climbing spot for rock climbers and BASE jumpers.
On your way back towards Moab the Red Cliffs Lodge makes for a great place to stop for lunch.
While at the lodge check out The Moab Museum of Film and Western Heritage.

Our favorite river camping in Moab is at Big Bend Campground along the Colorado river on a beautiful white sand beach!
14. Castle Creek Winery(CLOSED)
Castle Creek Winery is a fun stop along one of my favorite highways, HWY 128. It’s part of the larger Red Cliff’s Lodge which in itself is worth a visit for their free museum and movies featuring the local area.
There’s a ton to do here in addition to tasting delicious wine.

We like these ones because they are Waterproof • Tear-Resistant • and they include both Moab North and Moab South providing you coverage of the entire region.
Both maps include detailed trail charts describing the mountain biking and jeep trails that are the main draw of the Moab area.
Inset maps are also included for the most heavily used areas to help when navigating these desert landscapes.

Despite being Utah’s largest National Park, it’s frequently overshadowed by its more famous counterparts such as Arches and Zion.
But Canyonlands has a lot to offer and is well worth the trip.
This massive and less-visited National Park is one of our favorites. The hundreds of miles of hiking trails promise to keep you entertained for a long time.
The park is divided into three areas; the Maze to the west, Island In The Sky to the north, and Needles to the southwest. It’s ginormous but to find some quick hikes head to the Island In The Sky.

The Slot Canyons in Utah are one of the state’s most exciting attractions, with features unlike anywhere else in the world.
Slot canyons are narrow channels created by rushing water that wears away at rock, leaving narrow canyons.
People enjoy exploring slot canyons because they start out rather wide and get narrower with each step taken forward.
The tall vertical walls and narrow slots of the canyon can test the nerves of those who have claustrophobia.
It’s safest to go with a guide, here’s our recommended Moab Slot Canyon Tour
A Word of Caution About Slot Canyons
Slot canyons can be very dangerous during a big rainfall due to flash floods.
The safest way to explore the slot canyons is by taking a canyoneering tour.

34. Mountain Bike in Moab (One of Our Favorite Activities in Moab)
Each year, thousands of people (including us) head to Moab with one thing on their mind – mountain biking.
We prefer to mountain bike in the spring or fall when temperatures are mild and not too hot.
Early May is typically perfect, with sunny skies and temps in the upper 70s.
Moab is well known for the world famous, and highly technical, Slickrock Bike Trail. This challenging 9.6 mile trail is bucket list ride for all mountain bikers.
And while this route is often dubbed “highly technical,” it does not require the same level of expertise as other alpine routes.
The majority of this picturesque journey is paved with Navajo sandstone, a tacky surface for bike tires.
Why is it called Slickrock? Although slickrock is tacky for bike tires, pioneers in the 1800s had a different experience. The horses’ metal shoes made traveling on the sandstone difficult, so they dubbed it “slick rock.”
If you’re looking for some longer rides a couple of our absolute favorites are Amasa Back and Mag 7.
If you’re looking for something a little mellower, try Moab Brand Trails or Navajo Rocks.
There are several bike shops in Moab that have mountain bikes for rent or of course you can bring your own and catch a shuttle through Chile Pepper bike shop to ride the famous Whole Enchilada!
Pro Tip: Make sure you’re equipped for riding the rock in Moab by investing in some pads. Your elbows and knees will thank you!
