Moab

This season visitors can save time and money by securing a Moab Vacation Package in advance of arrival. They can also make the most of their visit to this red rock playground.

“The Moab Adventure Center team are experts in arranging mini-vacations for guests who want to stay and play here for a few hours or a few days. By combining desired activities into a package, we can beat inflation and save visitors valuable vacation dollars over what one would pay if activities were purchased piecemeal,” said Sierra Biggs, Moab Adventure Center Manager.

The only caveat, she explained, is that some pre-arranging such as lodging and meals not included in the itinerary may be required.

“The Moab Adventure Center offers helpful information on Moab lodging options and local dining as well as a Free Insider’s Guide to Moab which can be ordered here: www.moabadventurecenter.com/free-moab-insiders-guide. To preclude do-it-yourself challenges and frustrations, our team is here to answer questions and then to take the time-consuming details of planning, logistics, backcountry transportation and interpretive guiding off your shoulders. All that our guests have to do is breath in the fresh air, hold on and enjoy the scenery,” Biggs added.
