Moving to Moab

• January 2012

Hi Steph,

I am writing you because I am having a hard time finding any other information on moving to and renting in Moab. I am sure there are supposed to be governmental/department of tourism programs set up, but I have been hard pressed to find them ( maybe you could work on
commission). No Moab area craigslist, either!?

I am a climber/artist/farmer/traveler and I am looking for a spot to rest(mainly my little truck) for a bit. I’ve been to Moab a couple of times and Castleton and IC and I love it.

Are there any resources you know of to find/rent rooms? It’s cold and staying in my already overly stuffed 1980 Datsun truck does not appeal for more than a week or so.

Any ideas as a local?

Thanks so much in advance.

Hi Yeshe,
Moab is a pretty easy place to get by. The best thing to do is to just show up, and this is a good time of year to do it because things are quiet. If you’re not into truck camping, you can stay at the Lazy Lizard in a bed, room or cabin or just get a shower there, to start.

Usually you can find a place to rent by checking the message board at the Moonflower Market and/or talking to the people who work there, and also by checking the Advertiser paper which is a weekly local ad paper you can get free at almost any store in town.

It probably won’t take you too long to find something that works for you that way–also, days are getting longer and this has been the nicest (warmest) winter in recent memory!
