Moab Utah
Posted on Saturday, September 12, 2009
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.
