Last updated: 2026-07-04

Canonical page: `/activities`

Moab Ready activities are planner starters. They help a visitor choose parks,
hikes, bikes, off-road trails, river days, food, lodging, or a calmer scenic
loop by fit, source checks, weather, booking needs, and fallback options.

## Current Activity Starters

- `parks-hiking`: parks, hiking, viewpoints, water, heat, parking, and short
  trail fit.
- `mountain-biking`: mountain biking, trail system fit, shuttle or guide
  support, weather, rentals, and repair support.
- `off-road`: Jeep, 4x4, UTV, guided tours, rental decisions, Sand Flats rules,
  OHV requirements, and trail fit.
- `rafting-watersports`: Colorado River rafting, calm-water activities, heat
  relief, family comfort, operator fit, and post-river logistics.
- `climbing-canyoneering`: guided climbing, canyoneering, technical readiness,
  weather, flash-flood posture, and fallback planning.
- `scenic-basecamp`: scenic drives, easy viewpoints, food, lodging, trailer
  parking, recovery time, and lower-drama Moab days.

## Source-Gate Rule

Each activity needs at least one controlling source class before it becomes a
recommendation:

- parks and hiking: NPS safety, park alerts, weather, water, heat
- mountain biking: trail system source, weather, shuttle or guide support
- off-road: Sand Flats, BLM or area rules, OHV rules, weather
- rafting and watersports: operator terms, weather, river-day logistics
- climbing and canyoneering: weather, guide fit, flash-flood posture
- scenic basecamp: parking, food hours, lodging fit, low-exposure fallback

## Next-Step Rule

Any paid, partner, or lead path must follow fit:

- guide and rental referrals
- paid ready packets
- operator fit leads
- verified operator profiles
- shuttle, food, lodging, trailer, and local logistics partners
- gear and checklist commerce where it improves readiness

Paid placement must not override safety, source authority, or trip fit.
