Review #2000 I have…read morebeen to this park a couple of times now. I am a huge national park fan and Arches National Park is one of my favorites. The first time that I came here, I was passing through Moab with a buddy and we decided to make a quick stop here while on our way home. I had always wanted to visit here and it did not disappoint. Arches National Park offers the largest density of natural sandstone arches in the world. There are close to 2,000 of them here. There is so much to see and do at this park. I love to hike and was able to jump on a couple of trails while exploring this park. Arches National Park also has camping, rock climbing and biking. When I am visiting national parks, I try to do a hike at every park that I visit. Delicate Arch is the most popular arch and is listed as one of the best hiking trails (three miles round-trip). The arch itself is so picturesque with great panoramic views along the way. I was not able to hike it on my first visit to the park. But I made sure that I had time to hike the trail on my most recent visit. It is an amazing arch to see in person. We also hiked Devil's Garden Trail to see Landscape Arch - the longest arch in the park. It is a bit shorter and easier to do. Even though we didn't hike the full trail, Park Avenue Trail is the first attraction that you see after passing the visitor center. It is a great introduction to the park. You see colossal sandstone walls on both sides of the trail that resemble skyscrapers. If hiking is not your thing, there are many scenic driving routes for viewing some of the park's largest arches. They even have a viewpoint with a shorter walking distance for checking out Delicate Arch from afar if you cannot do the hike. The visitor center is really nice with rangers on hand to answer questions. They have a topographical map of the park and lots of educational material to read. Some of the other highlights of the park that I enjoyed checking out were The Organ (Courthouse Towers), Double Arch, Balanced Rock, Garden of Eden and the Window Arches. Arches National Park is such a unique park. I enjoyed reading about how this park came about. The park itself lies above an underground salt bed which helped to cause the formation of these arches over time. There are hotels in nearby Moab for lodging and a number of great places to eat at. Canyonlands National Park is not too far if you want to add more exploration to your trip here. Admission is free with an America the Beautiful National Park Pass.

The park offers several manageable hikes and a fantastic "giant sandbox" experience. Top Tips for Parents: Time: Budget 2 full days. This allows you to see the sights without rushing or risking a mid-day meltdown. The Best Hikes: We highly recommend Balanced Rock, Sand Dune Arch (it's a massive hit with kids because of the deep sand play), and The Windows Section. Where to Stay: Stay in Moab. It's incredibly convenient to the park entrance and has plenty of family-friendly amenities. The Visitor Center: Don't skip it! We spent 2 hours there exploring the exhibits; it's a great way to introduce kids to the environment. Essentials: It gets incredibly hot. Pack twice as much water and snacks as you think you'll need.

At one point around mid hike it switches from a trail to green marks on the rocks to mark the trail. When you get close enough you can see both bow tie and corona arch in the distance, there is a ladder you need to climb and then rocks with a rail on them to get up. Seems like some dogs struggle with this, while others can get up. Another group seemed like they were struggling with getting down in this area. Bowtie arch and corona arch are both lovely and worth visiting if you are in the area.

The scenery was breathtaking, and the rappelling was genuinely thrilling -- scary in the best way, and a real confidence builder for the kids.

We felt safe the entire time. Highly recommended!

It was almost funny how he was moving us through as fast as the candy on Lucy's conveyer belt. I reluctantly recommend the tour because the house/history is amazing, but the tour itself desperately needs a new guide and at least double the time to enjoy it. The girl at the front that sold the tickets was a delight: she enthusiastically answered our questions and actually seemed to enjoy engaging with guests.

The course is a full 18 holes in a very nice park that includes nice picnicking spots and a duck pond. Each hole has a beautifully made sign that includes the hole length, par, a tip for how to approach it, a Google Earth map of the tee and line to the hole, and a local sponsor. These are easily some of the better signs I've seen while playing and it made it very easy for us to go as first timers to the course. We had no problem locating baskets, the next holes, and everything else. Some of the further off baskets have awesome flags attached to the top so that you can see them from anywhere you're throwing. It made for some nice, relaxing disc golf. The course is sandy with quite a bit of trees and bushes. There is a good variety to the holes, lots of tricky shots, and lots of chances for your disc to get lost. Hole 7 was a bad one for me in particular. You start at the top of the hill and are throwing down to a basket around a corner you can't see. You are probably 50+ feet above where the basket it and the basket is 375 feet away. These kind of shots are tricky because of how the disc floats to the left when you're so high up above the ground. I landed 2 discs in the trees and had to spend quite a bit of time hunting them down, a third disc landed over in the fenced off area to the right (a watershed), but I managed to safely get it. Overall this is a great course to stop by and try out. Make sure you bring water as well, because it is always hot in Moab. This was a perfect spot for a round on our way out to play Base Camp.

They have…read morehole markers guiding you to each tee box to minimize those moments where you stumble around searching aimlessly. Also, each tee box has a topo and hole description so that you know where to aim for those juniper - hid baskets. The course is easy to find. It's a few miles south of town off spanish trail Rd. Being it's a desert, expect heavy sage brush and a handful of junipers. All of the holes are par 3, but they lean on the longer side. So, make sure to bring a good driver and know how to use it. Nothing was terribly technical, you just need to throw the distance. Hole 16, I recall?, does have a gully off to the left (topo at tee box forewarns you). Don't underestimate it like I did. It's a good twenty foot ditch with water and steep edges. You can't see it from the tee box, but landing a disc there is a pain. If you brought disc golfs, this course makes for a great rest day activity.
