BLUFF CALLING The small town is host to a big mix of art, history, festivals and recreation Written by Rachel Fixsen | Photos by Murice D. Miller
“B
luff is truly special,” says Ann Lepannen, mayor of the small Utah town that incorporated in 2018. 100 miles south of Moab, with a population of just over 250 people, Bluff has a complex character with something to fascinate and delight any visitor. Sandstone cliffs tower above a cluster of homes and businesses, and the San Juan River nourishes greenery just south of town. Main Street winds past the elementary school painted with murals, the restored historic Bluff Fort, the new Bears Ears Visitor Center, and several cafes and inns. Stunning scenery, centuries of history, good food, and diverse festivals have put Bluff on the map.
