Known For

Deep Southwest and adventure lit selection in a brick-walled haven

Back of Beyond Book Store stacks its exposed brick shelves with titles that reward slow browsing, and the cozy nook corners invite the kind of reading that makes you miss your hiking start time. It's a proper independent bookshop with real range and real character.

🕐Best time to visit: rainy afternoon when the trails can wait

Our Take

Back of Beyond Book Store has the kind of staff that recommends books they've actually finished at 2am, shelved among exposed brick walls and cozy reading nooks that make browsing feel like its own reward. It's a solid charming spot with hidden-gem energy that serious book lovers will add to their list regardless of what else is happening in Moab.
