Summers in Moab are beautiful, but let’s face it, it can get hot! So, we’ve gathered up a few things to do when Moab is hot to give you a break from the heat.
Rafting
Get your heart pumping and hold on tight as you encounter your next adventure with rafting in Moab. Ride the rapids and cool off in the summer with a raft trip down the Colorado River where you can spend a day or even two soaking up the water and the sunshine.
Most adventure companies will offer half and full-day options, with overnight trips available as well. Most companies run tours from April or May until October. Avoid the late afternoon heat and book a morning ride down the Colorado River. Then enjoy a relaxing afternoon back at our pool and hot tub, just one of the many amenities you will love at Hotel Moab Downtown.

If adrenaline-seeking adventures are not your thing, there are plenty of options for a relaxing river outing. Most outfitters offer river tubes or canoes for floating and rent in two, four, or six-hour increments.
Canyonland by Night
The Canyonland by Night tour company offers an evening dinner and boat tour to avoid the heat during the day. The Sound and Light Show Jet Boat Tours features a cowboy-style Dutch oven dinner and a slow-moving evening boat ride on the calm part of the Colorado River. Once the darkness settles in, the evening begins with 40,000 watts of natural light illuminating the canyon wall.
Stand-up paddleboard
And yet another way to experience the Colorado River is by way of paddleboarding. Float and paddle your way through the water with red-rock canyon walls surrounding you. Get out and enjoy a swim to cool off or stick to your board. Either way, this is one of the best things to do when Moab is hot.
Hang out by the pool
