Waterfront dining in Utah is hard to come by. There are very few restaurants around the Beehive State that offer river or lake views. However, there is one restaurant that sits along the Colorado River and offers some of the most beautiful river scenery around — The Cowboy Grill. Located in Moab, near both Arches National Park and Canyonlands National Park, this scenic restaurant is sure to leave you impressed.
You’ll find The Cowboy Grill at the Red Cliffs Lodge in Moab. This lodge is a popular place to spend the night as it offers a variety of hotel rooms and suites and is located in the heart of some of the best outdoor recreational activities in the state.
