We highly recommend hiking around Castle Valley and the Fisher Towers. If you haven't spent time in the desert southwest, this is the perfect way to soak up the beauty of the red rocks and stunning desert landscape.
For the mountain bikers out there, we highly recommend biking the Whole Enchilada. This 35-mile bike ride (with 8,000 feet of descending) covers every type of terrain - from winding through aspen forests in the high alpine to technical desert riding as you near Moab. For the hikers/runners, we recommend exploring the La Sals as well, especially in late May when the desert can be a little hot. Let us know if you want specific trail recs!
Super beautiful lookout over a winding section of the Colorado River. This is particularly beautiful during golden hour at sunrise or sunset.
