Situated among Red Rock cliffs and the Colorado River's best whitewater rapids is the award-winning Red Cliffs Lodge. The hotel is just a 30-minute drive to Arches and an hour's drive to Canyonlands, making it an ideal base camp for those wanting to explore Moab. The lodge has comfortable accommodations and guests are pampered with a list of amenities that you would expect from a 3-star resort.
The on-site, terraced dining room, called the Cowboy Grill, serves up a western spread with a side of stunning views of the Colorado River. The full-service restaurant features individual dining, an all-you-can-eat hot breakfast buffet, Sunday brunch, and picnic box lunches for a day out in the park. The lodge is also home to a museum and winery. The resort maintains the Moab Movie Museum, which tells the rich history of the numerous Hollywood films that were made in the area using the classic, western landscape as the backdrop. In addition, the lodge houses the largest winery in Utah, the Castle Creek Winery, which offers seasonal daily wine tastings. The facility also has an exercise room, pool and hot tub, tennis courts, and seasonal horseback riding.
