Moab sits at the confluence of the Colorado River and the redrock canyon country of southeastern Utah — a landscape so photogenic it has served as the stand-in for Mars in multiple films. Arches and Canyonlands national parks are both within 15 minutes of town, and the surrounding Bureau of Land Management land contains hundreds of miles of trails that have no counterpart anywhere else in America.
Electric off-road vehicles have been transformative for Moab recreation. The canyon country's trail network extends into terrain that's inaccessible without serious off-road capability, and electric ATVs and electric jeeps now provide that capability without the exhaust that accumulates in canyon narrows. The quiet also matters — the desert soundscape, the canyon wind, the distant ravens — all of it disappears behind a gas engine but survives intact with an electric drivetrain.
The Colorado and Green Rivers are serviced by electric boat tours that explore the canyon walls at water level — the perspective that John Wesley Powell had on his 1869 expedition, available now without the existential risk or the carbon. From Arches to the White Rim Trail, Moab's zero-emission adventure scene is the most spectacular in the American West.
