MOAB, Utah - April 3, 2014 - PRLog -- Moab, UT, – Moab Adventure Center (http://www.moabadventurecenter.com/), the one-stop shop for active Moab vacations, is attracting visitors with a stay-and-play 10 percent discount on combination packages of three or more single, full- or half-day adventures. And new for 2014, Moab, UT is wining, dining, and lodging adventure enthusiasts with a number of brand-new offerings.

“Sure you can breathe our air for a day but why not gulp it for several days in one of the most scenic natural playgrounds in the world,” says Jamie Pearce, Moab Adventure Center Manager (http://www.moabadventurecenter.com/). “This world-class vacation destination for adventure sports just keeps getting better and better.”

In the new-for-2014 restaurant category is Aristo's Mediterranean Restaurant serving flavors of Turkey and Greece for lunch and dinner. The chef is from Istanbul. A preview of recently opened Los Jilbertos recommends it for giant burritos and huevos rancheros. Plus it’s open for a taco fix 24 hours a day.

Three new trails have opened up: Intrepid Trail 2 at Dead Horse State Park; Hymasa, part of the Amasa Back Trail System; and Prospector Hiking Trail that starts north of the Rock Shop. There are also new trails that are still works in progress by Gemini Bridges. Stop by the Moab Adventure Center for directions.

Moab Gear Trader is a new consignment store offering free Wifi and a library of guide books and maps. Staff can also provide tips on where to go explore next. Warm-weather consignment and/or items for purchase include gear for biking, climbing, boating, hiking and such sporting goods as bats and balls. There’s also an impressive selection for kids.

New accommodations are Comfort Suites opening July 29; Marriott-Fairfield Inn & Suites opening in November; and ready now is the area's first-ever "glamping" destination, Moab Under Canvas. Located on 40 acres seven miles north of Moab and a step away from the entrance to both Arches National Park and Canyonlands National Park the site features luxurious tents that represent glamorous camping (or “glamping”) at its finest http://www.moabundercanvas.com/index.html.
