Moab Happenings: Guide to lodging, restaurants, shopping, more

Join us for 3 days of non-stop rodeo action. Featuring the top animal stock in the rodeo industry provided by Legacy Pro Rodeo. Top stock brings top cowboys, so get your cameras ready to see some of the greatest cowboys compete in Monticello, Utah! Last year the San Juan Stampede had 35 NFR qualifiers competing and several world champions- that’s a lot of rodeo talent for a small town rodeo!

We are excited to have Funny Man Tate Rhodes from Montana, who will keep everyone entertained and laughing throughout the rodeo. Tate brings high-energy entertainment, crowd interaction, and plenty of comedy to keep fans of all ages having a great time at this year’s San Juan Stampede.

Returning again this year is one of the top rodeo announcers in the industry, Garrison Allen! Garrison brings incredible knowledge of the sport of rodeo along with his unique announcer voice and energy that keeps fans engaged from start to finish. We are thrilled to welcome him back to Monticello once again!

The San Juan Stampede attracts contestants from all over the world! As a PRCA sanctioned event, the San Juan Stampede is also co-sanctioned with the Turquoise Circuit and the Mountain States Circuit, giving cowboys and cowgirls more opportunities to earn money and points toward circuit standings.

2026 Community Artist in the Parks
Chrissy Noel Kinslow

Chrissy Noel Kinslow is a Moab-based community artist whose work weaves together art, nature connection, and shared experience. Rooted in the landscapes of the Colorado Plateau, her practice centers on listening deeply and creating accessible, heart-led spaces for reflection and creative expression. Through guided art experiences, storytelling, and land-based practices, she invites participants to reconnect with themselves, each other, and the natural world.

She says, “As the 2026 Community Artist in the Parks, I invite you to join me in these sacred and stunning spaces for a series of mindful, creative, and nature-centered experiences. Together, we will slow down, breathe deeply, and let the landscape speak through our art.”

Throughout 2026, Kinslow will create original work within the parks for a minimum of 24 hours per month, April through October, and share her inspiration and creative process with visitors. Her works will be sold in the Canyonlands Natural History Association stores during her tenure.

“Visitors from around the world come to experience these national parks—but few have the chance to witness, and participate in, art created directly from the desert in real time. I am honored to share this journey with you.”

Dates for Kinslow’s 2026 park visits are subject to change or cancellation if needed. Check current schedule at go.nps.gov/2026CAIP
