Arches National Park is a magnificent place to visit when traveling through Utah. The rock formations made of Entrada Sandstone (Red) and Navajo Sandstone (Buff) were created by wind, water and time. The park preserves over 2,000 of these formations and has extensive trails as well as a driving tour through the park to get up close and personal to some.
The park is located in a high mountain desert and can get very hot, 100+ degrees during the day, make sure you have plenty of water, sunscreen and a hat when exploring this region.
A visit to Moab is a must after a day in the desert. This town is vibrant with lots of restaurants and shops catering to people who love sports and being outdoors. Stop by the visitor center and pick up brochures to explore on your own in the Moab area.
Self-Guided Auto Tours will lead you to many scenic byways and recreational areas, Movie Locations Auto Tours will spotlight set locations for movies as early as 1949, including Thelma and Louise and Mission Impossible II.
