It's not like we needed another reason to love Moab. But we've got one: Utah's red-rock mecca for adventure sports is pursuing one of the most ambitious green-energy policies of any town in the West. The movement is led by mayor and 35-year resident Dave Sakrison, 61, who was elected in 2000 and three years later had government offices supplying half their kilowatt-hours with emissions-free wind power. He then successfully challenged 15 percent of residents and 40 percent of businesses to do the same—a move that coincided with Moab's recognition as the EPA's first Green Power Community—and in 2005 finished construction on a geothermally heated and cooled city hall. This April, the Moab Chevron station will install southern Utah's first biodiesel tanks. Meanwhile, mountain bikers coming to town for the storied 12-mile Slickrock Trail can turn to Moab Cyclery, which powers its shop with an eight-megawatt solar-electric system and runs five 15-passenger vans on used veggie oil (bike rental with shuttle, $50; moabcyclery.com). Off the trail, there's the carbon-offset River Canyon Lodge (doubles from $59; rivercanyonlodge.com).
