Arches National Park, Moab, Utah Part 2 - Utah Series
- 2 years ago
This is fourth video of our Utah Series. Video shares amazing experience of exploring the great Arches National Park. Video begins with scenic drive and information about Arches national park. Drive within park is about 45 miles.
On second day in Arches National Park, we started our journey early morning from Moab. We first went to Park Avenue which is first major attraction at the beginning of park. It deserves a video of its own.
We could not hold our nerves to stop at Balanced Rock. We then headed towards Windows section of park. You need at least 3 - 4 hours to enjoy beauty in Windows section. It gives you access to huge parking lot, easy hikes to 4 arches: North Window, South Window, Turret arches on one end and Double arch on other side. We did short hikes to all these arches. Also, arches are visible from parking lot so it’s very much accessible.
Second half of day, we visited Sand Dune Arch. It is relatively flat trail with less than 0.4 mile roundtrip. You get to enjoy sand while on trail which gives feel of a sandy beach in middle of big rocks. Arche looks amazing, and it could easily feature as background on displays. We also planned to visit broken arch, but we missed it with more than 3 mile roundtrip and weather not permitting.
