Moab Maps
Four parks out front. Wait until you see what’s out back.
We don’t expect you to know the ins-and-outs of land management in the West. But it’s worth knowing that the majority of the vast, open spaces in the county Moab calls home is public land, managed by federal and state entities. Those include the National Park Service (you know this one by now), the Bureau of Land Management (the BLM — look for their green triangle logo when you hike outside of the national and state parks), the U.S. Forest Service (which looks after higher elevation areas in the nearby La Sal Mountains/the Manti-La Sal National Forest) and the State of Utah (which maintains the Utah State Parks, Dead Horse and Utahraptor, and assists in managing the rivers).
Most visitors come to Moab to see the parks, meaning they miss millions of acres of red-rock canyons, mountains, and desert landscapes. There’s so much more to explore here, and the sites go far, far beyond Delicate Arch.
