Raft the Dolores River
On years with enough moisture and runoff, kayakers, rafters, tubers and SUP-ers all take to the Dolores River.
This section of water from Slick Rock to Bed Rock provides a two night, three day float through red canyon walls, meandering bends in the river, a a few notable side canyons.
The water levels of the Dolores River are reactive to releases from McPhee Dam, which often means that the rive...

Explore the Newspaper Rock Ancient Petroglyphs
After leaving Moab, turn off Highway 191 on to 211. The drive will wind over the mesa tops and down into red rock canyon country. Enjoy the changing seasons whether the red cliffs are covered in snow or spring desert flowers are blooming.Watch for cattle as this is open range country. Also watch for rain and snow because this road can turn gnarly fast in bad weather. It continues to Canyonlands...
Hike Point Lookout Trail
This trail is located within Morefield Campground in Mesa Verde National Park. The parking lot also serves as the parking lot for the amphitheater, so it's pretty huge - unless there's a program going on you shouldn't have to worry about finding a spot.
The trail starts out nice and level, facing north. It meanders through a field before taking a sharp right turn and beginning the slow series ...
