64: Exploring Arches


Listen Later

Let’s explore Arches! We visit this national park at least once a year, and we never run out of things to do because there is just so much to see in the area. 

Whether it’s the well-known sights or the hidden gems, in this episode of Exploring the National Parks, we’re discussing it all. This park is truly iconic, and we hope this episode helps you plan your next trip!

Join us as we discuss: 

  • Our favorite arches in the Devils Garden 
  • Where to go for a quiet place to experience the arches 
  • The popular arch that Ash is not a fan of
  • Our tips for visiting Fiery Furnace 
  • Important things you’ll want to remember before visiting this park
  • Where to get the best view of Delicate Arch
  • The best places to experience the sunset in the park
  • Other great areas in the park to see non-arch formations
  • Parts of the park to explore if you have a Jeep
  • What to do, where to stay, and where to eat in Moab
  • Arches entrance reservations
  • We hope you get the chance to explore this incredible park yourself this year!  To see the best of the park without getting stuck in the crowds, you’ll find a full Arches National Park Itinerary on the Dirt In My Shoes website.

    Don’t forget to complete your task for this week! Head over to our Facebook or Instagram @dirtinmyshoes and show us what you like to wear when you’re out exploring the national parks. (This has a funny tie-in with the town of Moab, which we discuss near the end of the episode.)
