Arches National Park & Canyonlands National Park
Arches National Park and Canyonlands National Park - two of the "Mighty Five"
What amazing scenery! Our favorites - Delicate Arch, Landscape Arch & Devil's Garden hike, and the Windows Section. Don't miss Wolfe Ranch and the petroglyphs at the beginning of the Delicate Arch hike. You can also get a great view of Delicate Arch from the lower viewpoint if you don't feel like hiking. Once you're at Landscape Arch the trails changes! The Devil's Garden hike to Dark Angel lets you scamper up and down red rock fins and tests your hiking skills! The Windows section is fun to explore - count all the arches you see! Timed entry reservations are needed April - October if you want to enter the park between 7am and 4 pm. Bring water, sunscreen, sturdy shoes, hats and snacks.
