Camp LIA: Summer Adventure in Moab
Sixteen urban Latino high school students from Utah kicked off their summer vacation with an unforgettable Take It Outside! weekend adventure on the Colorado River near Moab.
The students slept out under the stars, braved high water runoff, and crushed Class I-II rapids on an overnight river raft trip provided by BLM-Utah, in partnership with Latinos In Action (LIA) and O.A.R.S. Canyonlands, Inc.
Mentors from LIA, the BLM, U.S. Forest Service, and Friends of Arches and Canyonlands Parks shared their insights about education paths and careers in natural resources. The O.A.R.S. river guides demonstrated the value of respecting the environment, looking out for each other, and how to take care of themselves outdoors. Five students from Logan High School were honored with internships to participate as peer leaders.
The students—many of whom had never been camping before-- became fast friends as they shared an action-packed, multi-day outdoor experience. The participants camped and hiked on public lands managed by the BLM-Utah's Moab Field Office; exploring red rock canyons, discovering desert wildlife, and even studying dinosaur tracks.
The learning and fun will continue throughout the summer with Camp LIA day trips to recreation areas in northern Utah, thanks to a partnership with outdoor leadership school Splore. Recreational opportunities include paddle boarding and rock climbing.
All this comes about from cooperation among a team of incredible partners: Latinos In Action; O.A.R.S. Canyonlands, Inc.; Friends of Arches and Canyonlands Parks; National Park Service, Rivers, Trails, and Conservation Assistance Program; The Outdoor Foundation; Utah State University; US Forest Service Uintah-Wasatch-Cache; Bureau of Reclamation Upper Colorado Region, and Splore.

Red Cliffs Lodge Moab, Utah
Break away from the everyday, Explore Moab
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.
Red Cliffs Lodge offers the perfect balance of relaxation and adventure. From mountain biking, horseback riding and guided tours of national parks (Arches, Canyonlands and Dead Horse State Park), to rafting, jeeping and hiking, we’re the ideal base from which to explore Moab. We’re also a spectacular spot for weddings and offer comprehensive corporate meeting facilities.
Red Cliffs Lodge is home to the Castle Creek Winery, the largest in Utah, with daily wine tasting. In addition, we maintain the Moab Movie Museum, which tells the rich history of movie making in the region and features fascinating facts and memorabilia from those films. The Cowboy Grill, our terraced dining room, offers delicious Western fare along with fabulous views of the Colorado River. So whatever your fancy, our capable, experienced staff is eager to share all that Moab has to offer.
Moab Jet Boat - Colorado River Utah
MOAB ADVENTURE CENTER
Moab is one of the few places in the world where you can have the mountains, the water, rafting, all the four wheel drive trips, and jet-boating.
We do a trip which goes downriver approximately 18 miles and along the way we see petroglyphs, arches. We talk about the native history of this area and a little bit about the river.
We also have our daytime trips that go down below Dead Horse Point which is about 34 miles by river from here.
In the mornings we see a lot of beavers. We also somedays see river otters. We see Deseret Bighorns. We see black bear sometimes. Lots of herons, great blue herons, turkey vultures, ravens, peregrine falcons, ducks, geese.
Well, our jetboats are designed here in Utah. They are designed to run in this shallow section of the river that we do run in. Most of our boats are designed to run in less than 4” of water on plane.
We can accommodate anywhere from… on our night time trip 150 people to our sunset trips where we can accommodate around 60 people.
When you are in Moab, the got to do activity is jet boating.
