So, you think you’re a Moab adventure junkie? Well, terrain like this was made for the grit, guts, and a dollop of madness. If ain’t too hot in Moab’s kitchen, you’re in for knee-wobblin’ thrills that are conveniently packed into one area. Ride, fall, and send it however your adrenaline drunken heart desires. Check out this list for some ideas that will make your mother pretty worried.
Rafting Cataract Canyon
Ride some of the phattest, most ferocious whitewater in the West! The Colorado River churns out bus-sized waves in spring as the snowmelt comes-a-flowing’ down through Utah. Rapid connoisseurs can take a speedboat for a two-day trip into the froth, or camp up to 6 days between these ancient walls.
Mountain Biking Porcupine Rim
Send yourself flying down this 14.7 miles trail to Castle Valley’s floor. A difficult, and mostly single-track that provides exposed ledges over the Colorado River, sweet descending slickrock, cheek-clenching turns, and plenty of trail cred once making it to Grandstaff Canyon. The only leisurely part of this ride is the cruise back to Moab.

Off Roading Hell’s Revenge
All that slickrock sure might look smooth, but just you wait. This 9 mile wheelin’ route east of Moab has a platter of obstacles that are catered only to advanced drivers. You’ll squeeze through chutes, feel your gut rise on close-to vertical descents, and ride an escalator of sandstone like you’ve got nowhere to be. Get ready to roll if things get hairy, literally.

Rock Climbing The Priest
Get offwidth it. Next to The Nuns, this calcite-covered statue has shaded routes from 5.11b to 5.13a, and is a little less popular than its neighbors of Castleton and The Rectory. Your summit is in for a life changing view, and some time to journal and enjoy the log book that started in 1984. Go on a warm day.

Skydiving
The view sure is pretty by free fall, so take the leap up to 13,500 feet above Moab. If you’ve jumped plenty of times before, you may have the opportunity to take the plunge towards Castle Valley without a guide! Check this one off the bucket list and feel what it’s like to ride a pillow of air.
