The rugged desert landscape of southeastern Utah is like no other place on earth. No wonder it has been the location for hundreds of films over the past 70 years, from John Wayne classics to “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade” to “Thelma and Louise,” and more.
The best base to explore this unique part of the United States is the small town of Moab, population 5,300. Moab has long been a favorite with adventure seekers who come to drive four-wheel-drive vehicles up challenging slickrock, climb rock walls, kayak fast-moving rivers, or disappear for days on a hike into the backcountry.
