Break away from the everyday.
If you crave a break from the ordinary, a unique retreat from the all-too-familiar, plan your next travel experience at the Red Cliffs Adventure Lodge. Located 14 miles up the Colorado River on scenic Hwy 128 from downtown Moab, we are situated beside the river’s best white water rapids, at the foot of dramatic Red rock cliffs. It’s a classic, rugged Western landscape worthy of Hollywood, and was in fact the site of numerous films, including Rio Grande with John Wayne.
Top Adventure Destination Award: Moab, Utah - Article from “Frommers:Destinations”: Some might look at Moab, Utah, and tell you it's in the middle of nowhere. Those in the know will tell you that it in fact is in the middle of everything.
Nestled in a green valley surrounded by red-rock scenery, Moab isn’t a destination for what’s inside the city limits -- rather, what’s just outside of them is the big attraction. Not only is it on the doorstep of a pair of national parks -- Arches and Canyonlands -- but it’s also home to dozens of outfitters that can take you rafting, hiking, rock climbing, mountain biking, or four-wheeling.

National Geographic Traveler - Red Cliffs Lodge of Moab, Utah has been has been selected by the editors of National Geographic Traveler magazine tobe included in the second annual “Stay List”, featuring
“129 Hotels We Love.”
Quoting National Traveler Senior Editor Sheila Buckmaster: “The hotels on our Stay List 2009 don’t just reflect their surroundings-they help define them,” says Traveler Senior Editor Sheila Feldman Buckmaster. “What they all have in common is a transcendent vision that goes beyond traditional hotel-keeping. This mindset is what gives these hotels their sense of place. Make no mistake: you’ll sense the vibe at once. And after your stay, you’ll leave with the kind of insight only soulful places can provide.” Click Here to read more...
The criteria for the selection process for the National Geographic Traveler 2009 Stay List: To find these hotels, Traveler tapped into the collected experiences of veteran journalists, inveterate road warriors, and local experts.
They based their nominations on key criteria. Is the hotel engaged with the local community? Does it subscribe to sustainable practices that respect the region? Does it truly capture the spirit of its setting? Further research and
detailed questionnaires winnowed hundreds of submissions down to this sweet list of 129 hotels.
The properties on the list offer truly unique experiences, and we are excited to highlight them in our upcoming issue, hitting newsstands April 7th. |

Beautiful Sunsets at Red Cliffs Lodge.
“My husband and I spent 5 nights at the Red Cliffs Lodge in one of their guest cabins located within fifty feet of the winding Colorado River. On the other side of the cabin was a large pasture where cows and very friendly horses grazed. Towering above us was the red rock cliffs of the outskirts if the Arches National Park. The lodge housed it’s own winery producing Castle Creek wine, a museum, a tribute to all of the old westerns filmed in that area, a restaurant offering a great selection for you to chose from with a great view of the Colorado, an olympic size pool that should have been at 90 degrees, but was cool and refreshing, a fitness center, a laundry and an opportunity to go horse back riding. You could dine in your cabin, which had all of the amenities one needed to prepare a meal, or visit the restaurant then grab a bottle of their wine and sit in front of the gas fireplace watching an old western on TV as the Colorado river rolls by outside the sliding glass door. Mother nature created a stunningly beautiful location and the owners of the lodge created a warm, friendly, and relaxing atmosphere for their guests to stay in. If you are going to visit the Moab area Red Cliffs Lodge is a must.” - pattybiggs
