Moab's red rock country doubles as one of the most dramatic event settings in America. The Moab Music Festival each September stages chamber music in natural grottos along the Colorado River, floating audiences to concerts no concert hall could match. The town's calendar otherwise runs on outdoor adrenaline — jeep safaris, mountain bike festivals, ultramarathons, and stargazing parties fill the spring and fall shoulder seasons when desert temperatures are kind. A folk festival, brewery patios with live music, and community events in Swanny City Park round out a town of 5,000 that hosts millions of visitors between Arches and Canyonlands.
