MOAB, UT, September 03, 2010 (Press-News.org) The one-stop, multi-activity Moab Adventure Center http://www.moabadventurecenter.com/ reports that its 2010 summer has gone gang busters and it anticipates record increases this fall as well.
Brandon Lake, co-founder of Moab Adventure Center, reports that compared to summer 2009 this year's multi-day trips and day trips are up 16 percent and 15 percent respectively. Its Cataract Canyon raft trips are up 26 percent, thanks in part to increased visibility and also because its Grand Canyon raft adventures filled up early this year. Water-based activities are up nearly 5 percent and land-based activities are up nearly 31 percent.
"People stayed closer to home this year and did more domestic adventure travel," said Lake. He added that for multi-day trips there is a 13 percent increase in drive-in traffic over 2009.
Lake expects equally strong results for the quieter months of September and October. He said this time is ideal weather-wise for indulging in adventures that maximize the spirit of this iconic canyonlands region also while saving 16 percent over summer rates. For example, the Ultimate Moab Adventure combines five popular activities for the full Moab experience; Colorado River rafting, horseback riding, guided mountain biking, a Hummer safari and Arches National Park sunset tour. The fall special is $320 for adults 16 and over; $268 for under 16. The same discount applies to additional activities that may be added and/or substituted.
Autumn in and around Moab is also high season for cultural events. The Moab Music Festival throughout most of September presents "Music in Concert with the Landscape" set in the spectacular landscape of the Utah Canyonlands region. In early October the Moab Plein Air Festival gathers artists to the region.
Three cycling events are held in September and October: Moab Century Tour takes in the canyons with proceeds going to cancer survivorship programs. The Suzuki 24 Hours of Moab Mountain Bike race is a team relay event on old jeep trails. The 5th Annual Moab Ho-Down Mountain Bike Festival features biking events and more.

"The growth over the past several years is due in large part to the convenience and excellent customer experience provided by Moab Adventure Center. We make it easy to plan a simple 2-hour off-road safari or an entire week of adventure, all with the assurance that you'll have the time of your life," said Lake.
"When people think of visiting Southern Utah, they often consider a visit to Bryce and Zion National Parks, both astoundingly beautiful locations. However, what most travelers don't realize is that if you're planning multiple days in Utah, Moab is the perfect destination for a longer stay. Not only do you have Arches National Park and Canyonlands National Park, but you also have the quaint town of Moab, Utah plus over 30 adventures to enhance your Utah vacation. You can't find that anywhere else in the state," said Lake.
