Summer festivals typically situate themselves in beautiful surroundings. But Michael Barrett and Leslie Tomkins— founders of the Moab Music Festival in Utah—have taken the music-and-nature connection quite a bit further than most.

he landscape is familiar to anyone who’s ever watched a western: miles of desert tinted a dark red by rich mineral deposits and dotted with weird rock formations T that seem to rise out of nowhere from the predominantly flat landscape. The red rock country around Moab in southeastern Utah is one of the most arid and desolate spots in the world, yet also one of the most yet fascinating. Home to several national parks, the region attracts visitors by the thousands. Violinist Jesse Mills Hollywood first realized the potential of Moab as a backdrop for its westerns back in performs at Muleshoe the silent era. Later on, many of John Wayne’s movies were filmed there. (Even today Canyon Musical Walk guests can book the room in the now old but well-kept-up motel in downtown Moab benefit. where Wayne used to stay when he was in town.) Edward Abbey loved this part of Utah. The late renowned writer and environmentalist first arrived in the area in the 1950s to work as a seasonal park ranger. Drawn by its natural beauty he kept returning, eventually buying a house and settling down in Moab. His most famous work, Desert Solitaire, paints an irresistible, if somewhat idealistic, portrait of Moab and the outlying area:

This is the most beautiful place on earth. …Every man, every woman, carries in heart and mind the image of the ideal place, the right place, the one true home, known or unknown, actual or visionary. …For myself, I’ll take Moab, Utah. I don’t mean the town itself, of course,
