2020 has been a unique year to say the least and while traveling is ramping back up across the U.S., social distancing is still an important part of the journey. For those travelers heading to Moab this year looking to keep safety and health top of mind, there are plenty of options to consider when it comes to adventures that make social distancing in Moab Utah a priority. Here are a few to add to your itinerary that are sure to inspire every traveler in your crew.
Hike Canyonlands National Park
While Arches National Park is an iconic Moab stop, chances are if you’re heading to Moab in the summer months, it’s a place that’s going to be packed with crowds. When you’re looking to avoid the chaos and keep Moab social distancing top of mind, consider making your way to Canyonlands National Park instead. Significantly larger than Arches, Canyonlands provides visitors with four distinct quadrants to choose from that make finding a moment of solitary tranquility more than possible. Whether you plan on hiking or driving your way through, there’s a vast area of land to choose from. In fact, those that set their sights on The Needles District will find it’s necessary to travel about an hour outside of Moab to enjoy it!
