Grand County, Utah
Arches National Park. That’s probably what you think of when you hear “Grand County.” And you’re not wrong. This southeastern Utah county is home to some of the most stunning red rock scenery in the world.
Moab is the hub, which is a small town with a big reputation for outdoor thrills. Mountain biking is huge here. So is off-roading. The Colorado River runs along the county’s eastern region.
Canyonlands National Park is just next door. It’s not all tourists and adventure seekers, though. Ranching and mining still play a role in the local economy. The landscape here will take your breath away.

PHYSICAL MAP
Grand County Topographic Map
Grand County is shaped by rock, river, and open sky. The Colorado River cuts deep through red sandstone, sculpting mesas, cliffs, and canyons. Arches and buttes are common here, especially around Moab. Elevation rises east of the river and especially in the northwest.
TRANSPORTATION MAP
Grand County Road Map
Despite the desert feel, Grand County is well connected. I-70 crosses the middle and US-191 runs south from the interstate, right through Moab. But some roads here lead to nowhere, just viewpoints and trails. Even so, the network is surprisingly efficient. You can explore each route in detail with our zoom tool below.
