Unleashing the Spirit of Adventure in Moab

Veterans Day Weekend in Moab, Utah, is a call to the wild for thrill-seekers and nature lovers alike. With the crisp November air and clear skies, it’s the perfect time to dive into the heart of the desert and explore its rugged beauty. As the sun rises on November 9th, the temperature starts at a brisk 31.5°F, warming up to a comfortable 49.5°F by afternoon. This is the ideal weather to layer up and embark on a Desert Tour through the iconic Arches National Park.

Imagine standing amidst the towering arches, each one a testament to the power of nature’s artistry. Your guide, a fountain of knowledge about the park’s geology and history, will lead you through this breathtaking landscape. The tour, available from 7:30 AM to 12:00 PM, is a perfect blend of education and exploration. As you wander through the park, you’ll learn about the delicate balance of its ecosystem and the stories etched into its ancient rocks. One recent review from October 7th captures the essence of this experience:

“THE float trip you CANNOT miss while in Moab! The rafting trip with WWV was absolutely more wonderful than we were expecting!”

Conquer the Hell’s Revenge Trail

As the afternoon sun casts long shadows over the desert, it’s time to shift gears and rev up the adrenaline with a UTV Adventure on the Hell’s Revenge Trail. This heart-pounding ride is available from 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM and again from 2:00 PM to 4:30 PM, offering a thrilling escape into the wild.

Driving a UTV over the slickrock terrain is not for the faint-hearted. The trail’s steep climbs and descents promise an adrenaline rush like no other. With an experienced guide leading the way, you’ll navigate the rollercoaster-like mounds and stand 800 feet above the Colorado River, gazing into the vast expanse of Arches National Park. A review from August 31st sums up the experience perfectly:

“EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME - Absolutely amazing. One of the best excursions I have ever been on and most memorable experiences of my life.”
