Slick Rock Lodge in Moab is a summer basecamp for hiking, mountain biking, off-roading, scenic drives, rafting, and stargazing among red rock canyons and the Colorado River. Summer trips work best when mornings are reserved for active outings and afternoons are planned around water, shade, indoor breaks, or higher-elevation escapes.
Top Summer Activities
- Raft the Colorado River: A guided float or whitewater trip is one of the best ways to cool down during the hottest part of the day.
- Hike early: Popular routes such as Delicate Arch, Corona Arch, Grandstaff Trail, and Fisher Towers are best started at sunrise or soon after.
- Mountain bike with care: Moab has world-famous slickrock and desert trails, but summer heat makes short, early rides the safest choice.
- Explore by scenic drive: Arches National Park, Canyonlands National Park, Dead Horse Point State Park, and the La Sal Mountain Loop offer big views with less physical exertion.
- Try off-roading or guided tours: Jeep, UTV, canyoneering, climbing, and horseback tours can be good options when planned with experienced local guides.
- Stargaze after dark: Clear desert skies make evenings a rewarding time to enjoy the landscape once temperatures begin to drop.
