Moab is known for its towering red rock cliffs, desert canyons, dinosaur history, and world-famous national parks — but some of the best experiences happen away from the busiest trailheads.
At Paddle Moab, our guided hiking tours focus on immersive, small-group adventures that help you experience the quieter side of the desert. Whether you're exploring ancient fossil sites, watching the sunset over red rock formations, or hiking beneath some of the darkest skies in Utah, our goal is simple: create meaningful outdoor experiences that feel personal, relaxed, and unforgettable.
Our guides bring deep local knowledge of Moab’s geology, history, wildlife, and hidden landscapes, turning every tour into more than just a hike.
Night Hiking • Fossil Exploration • Stargazing
Skip the crowds and see a side of Moab most visitors miss.
This small-group evening tour starts with a short drive from Paddle Moab to a quiet desert location rich with real dinosaur tracks and fossilized remains. As the heat fades, we’ll explore the area on foot, walking through ancient history while keeping an eye out for agates and other desert treasures.
Then the magic kicks in.
Watch the desert light up as the sun drops behind the red rock horizon, one of the best sunset views in Moab. As darkness settles in, we’ll stick around for a look at the night sky, far from city lights. On clear nights, the stars are unreal.
Led by a seasoned local guide with deep knowledge of Moab’s geology and history, this is more than just a walk, it’s a deeper look at the desert most people drive right past.
This is an easy, relaxed adventure designed for all ages. No crowds, no rush, just a unique way to experience Moab.
