Red Cliffs Lodge 220 Acres on the Colorado River
A legendary riverside resort nestled beneath 2,000-foot red rock cliffs along the Colorado River — featuring an onsite winery, horseback riding, and Western film heritage.
Check AvailabilitySprawling across 220 acres on the banks of the Colorado River, Red Cliffs Lodge is one of Moab's most iconic destinations. Located on Scenic Byway 128 — a jaw-dropping 14-mile drive from downtown Moab — the lodge sits beneath towering 2,000-foot red rock cliffs at the entrance to Castle Valley, a landscape that has starred in Hollywood films for decades.
This is more than a hotel — it's a full Western resort experience. Ride horses along the river, taste award-winning wines at the onsite Castle Creek Winery, explore the Moab Museum of Film & Western Heritage, or simply sit on your private patio and watch the Colorado River roll by. Freshly reimagined suites and cabins blend rustic charm with modern comfort.
