Arches National Park

6/3/2020

0 Comments

 
Moab, Utah was a quick stop on our way across country, but we were certainly glad that we did.  Arches National Park is a vast desert land of natural arches and red-hued structures. The Colorado River borders the park and is nice respite from the hot beaming sun from the park.  The park is a playground for hiking, back-country camping, stargazing, and jeeping.

The Logistics ​
  • Traveled by rental car from St. Louis to Denver to Moab
  • Traveled with my husband and parents
  • Stayed at The Hampton Inn, Moab
  • Stayed 2 nights, 1 day
The Itinerary
Day 1
  • We arrived the evening before to Moab, ate dinner, and settled into our hotel. 
  • Park Avenue Rocks pitstop
  • Balanced Rock pitstop
  • Window Arches (1 mile hike) 
  • Delicate Arch (.5 mile hike) - the arch on the license plate. 
  • In the afternoon we did a kayak trip along the Colorado River (6 miles downstream). Surrounded by beautiful mountains and red rocks. 
  • In the evening drove to Fiery Furnace to see the sunset. 
Recommendations/Suggestions
  • Do an evening hike to Delicate Arch - the 3 mile hike that leads you directly in front of it. 
  • Spend an evening stargazing
  • Looking for something a little more adventurous- try biking, rock climbing, or canyoneering 
  • Double Arch
  • Try one night of camping in the park
  • Visit nearby Capitol Reef and Canyonlands
