If adventure travel has a Mecca, it's got to be Moab, Utah.

It's easy to find yourself somewhere between a rock and a hard place in Moab, a promised land in southeast Utah for visitors who want to get their adrenaline pumping.

Surrounded by high canyon walls of red rocks, there are several ways to scale the heights whether its hiking, taking an ATV tour of the back country, or four-wheeling in a Hummer.

Perhaps Moab is best known for its mountain biking on Slickrock, where the action comes from the traction between rubber and sandstone.

Hiking up to delicate arch in Arches National Park is a must do for visitors who want more of an in-your-face experience than simply viewing it from a distance. The Colorado River courses through Moab, and onboard a rubber raft is an amazing vantage point from which to see the Red Rock formations.

Moab is known for its Hollywood connections, and scores of movies and commercials have been filmed on the rugged landscape. The Red Cliffs Lodge has a fascinating museum that showcases many of the flicks that have been shot on location.
