What Moab Doesn’t Have
Moab is famous for good reason — but Vernal has experiences you literally can’t get there.
Moonshine Arch
Moab doesn’t have a monopoly on Utah arches. Moonshine Arch is a stunning natural sandstone formation hidden deep in Vernal’s backcountry — accessible only by off-road trail. No park entrance fee, no shuttle, no crowds.
Dinosaur Country
Ride through terrain where ancient giants once roamed. Vernal is the gateway to Dinosaur National Monument — a world-class fossil site. Combine your UTV tour with a trip to the quarry for an unforgettable day.
Ashley Gorge Canyon
Descend into a dramatic canyon corridor with towering sandstone walls and a winding river valley. One of the most visually striking rides in the entire Uintah Basin — and a trail that exists nowhere near Moab.
10% Off Lodging at Best Western Vernal
Use discount code “ROCCO” when you book your stay. Vernal hotels run $90–$150/night — about half what you’d pay in Moab. That’s real savings that add up fast for a family trip.
