Ask locals in any part of the state, going to national parks is a way to get out of that corporate funk and remember to breathe a little. You just might find thousands of other people there trying to do the same. With the right planning, anyone can enjoy the over 340,000 acres of land at Canyonlands and worry less about the crowds.  

Moab is the entrance to both of these national parks and also boasts abundant wildlife you may run into.  

For those who are looking for a little less physical activity, there is a jeep tour, movie filming sites to visit, and tons of small-town restaurants to try! Basically, Moab being the best small town in Utah in 2025 is no surprise.
