In the southeastern region of Utah, Moab is one of the only cities on the banks of the Colorado River. Moab was originally established in the 19th century as agricultural land, but later changed to mining. In the 1920’s, oil exploration in the United States contributed to the local population. During the 1950’s, the discovery of uranium in the region established Moab as the uranium capital of the world. Today, Moab attracts over half a million visitors a year, and is the portal city to Arches and Canyonlands National Parks. The majestic scenery of the canyons attracts photographers, artists, and enthusiasts looking to capture the great western outdoor experience.

Arches National Park
rock, natural arches are the result of the erosive forces of rain and snow slowly chipping away at the rock. There are more than 1,700 officially listed arches in Arches National Park, and more are discovered every day. Wander through this maze of incredible rock formations and when you think you have seen the most spectacular one, another even more amazing appears as you walk around the next bend.
