The remarkable Dead Horse Point State Park is also easily reached from Moab. After staying in Moab during our Utah National Parks road trip we’ve put together this list of the best places to stay in Moab, including accommodation for every visitor group size, style and budget. Most visitors to Arches and Canyonlands stay in the nearby town of Moab. The town is a popular stop on a Utah National Parks Road trip and is a magnet for adventure seekers. As well as the variety of accommodation and food options, there’s also a great supermarket (City Market), fantastic outdoor gear stores (make sure to check out Gearheads Outdoor Store for last minute hiking supplies) and some fun and quirky cafes and shops. With its
small-town feel and easy accessibility to Arches National Park, Canyonlands National Park and Dead Horse Point State Park, we loved our stay in Moab.
