Perfect Pairings: Moab Adventure Center Tours with Moab’s Fall Spectator Events

Moab turns magical come fall. Here are five reasons to venture into Utah’s red rock playground in September and October.

First, families are busy tucking children into school schedules which means fewer visitors in the region. Second, fewer visitors mean easier access to Arches and Canyonlands National Parks. Third, the weather can be sublime, shirtsleeve and hovering between 75F and 85F. Fourth, the spectacle of autumn hues is unbeatable. Think yellow and gold spiked with red rock arches and topped by blue sky. Fifth, Moab cuts lose with the cooler temperatures to stage its annual fall calendar of events

While there may not be one single headliner event, these come close. Following are suggestions for pairing other Moab Adventure Center activities with the activities calendar. 

Oct. 1-3: The Canyonlands PRCA (Pro Rodeo Cowboy Association) is part of the All American Pro Rodeo Series. You can create your own rodeo warm-up on Moab Adventure Center’s Horseback Adventures come with cowboy-trained quarter horses. A professional wrangler leads the way on trails made famous by John Wayne himself.  Rides are three hours in the mornings and 90 minutes in the afternoons. https://www.moabadventurecenter.com/moab-horseback-riding
