Life is elevated in the adventure town of Moab, on the bucket list for every avid mountain biker, rock climber, kayaker or widespread adrenaline junkie. With so much to explore, it can be hard to find the best spots with minimal crowds.
Best Place to Camp: Porcupine Rim
If you’re looking for a more serene campsite with spanning views of the desert, post up at Porcupine Rim. It’s a far trek out of town so you’ll need 4-wheel drive and no intention of using cell service once you get there. High on the mountain, you’ll get incredible morning views like this one. Far away from the typical tourist spots like the golden arches, you’ll have plenty of room for incredible and challenging trails to off-road in your jeep, dune buggy or bike. You might even spot some professional base-jumpers flying from the rocks.

The Swimming Hole: Mill Creek North Fork
What’s a summer trip to Moab without some rock jumping? This swimming hole does get crowded, but it’s a great spot to cool off and challenge your cliff jumping from 10–20 feet.
The Best Burger: Milt’s Diner
It’s the oldest restaurant in Moab and once you go you will understand why the line is always so long. After a long day roaming through the red rocks, a burger, shake and fries from Milt’s hits a homerun. If the line is long outside, go inside and order at the counter and your wait time will be cut in half.
