Huddled in a far-off valley between pinnacles of red rock, Moab is one of the most breathtaking 4x4 destinations in the nation - if not the world. Many movies, including a host of John Ford Wild West classics, have been filmed in these otherworldly environs. A high percentage of the maintained and primitive roads are actually remnants of the area's uranium prospecting and mining past. Potash Road just outside Moab features petroglyphs and several dinosaur tracks. Be sure to take in the spectacular terrain of neighboring Arches National Park and Canyonlands National Park.
Tow hooks mandatory.
