Moab may play tricks on your sense of scale. A sandstone formation which appears manageable from a highway pullout can feel enormous when you’re under it. The slickrock is able to transform an elongated ridge into a steep, vertical wall once your vehicle is able to reach the top. The color of the desert changes with the movement of the sun over the rock.
Explore the southeastern part of Utah to discover this. The landscape isn’t something you encounter once and can’t grasp. It’s also revealed in a variety of ways through different routes. Moab tours are an excellent opportunity to experience the diversity of this area without spending valuable vacation time trying to put all the pieces together.
