Here are a list of events coming up this year in Moab. For those of you that have never been to Moab you are missing out. Moab has so much to offer, most of the people that I have talked to over the years say that once they have been to Moab they will be back. Moab has a lot of great activities from Hiking, River Rafting, Jeeping (#1 activity in our mind), and som much more. With 2 National Parks just a few miles from the heart of Moab, Moab is a great escape for everyone.
Below are some events that are coming up in Moab that should not be missed.

MAR 27-29 Moab Muni Fest 2009
“MUni” is short for Mountain Unicycling. “Fest” is short for Festival, and that’s what the Moab MUni Fest is all about. It’s a time to break the winter cabin fever and get out to the pleasant March climes of Moab; to ride and socialize with other MUni riders in the scenic red rock wonderland of Southern Utah. It’s a place to test and expand your limits, hone your skills, and learn new techniques from other riders. The entire Slickrock area is red sandstone rock, which means you’ll have traction to climb and descend angles you never thought possible. The landscape is a trials course. For non-trials riders it’s just as much fun figuring out how to avoid the obstacles. In either case there’s plenty to keep you entertained. It’s a great place to make and renew friendships within the com-MUni-ty of riders. For more info visit: http://www.moabmunifest.com/
