Devil's Garden Trail was my favorite too. I stayed at Devil's Garden Campground so it was a short walk to the trailhead. I was there in June, so we got up at the crack of dawn to get our hikes in. It was so hot! Next time, I'll stay in Moab so I don't bake all night. LOL! Great video showcasing all the best of the arches!

@adventureswithLK 3 года назад

Well, I have not visited yet. So all my favorites are the ones you talked about in the video. LOL. All of them looked pretty spectacular though. It would be a hard choice to only pick one or two if time was limited. Balanced Rock is kind of mind boggling that it just doesn't fall over. Great overview of the top 5 hikes, very enjoyable to watch. Have a wonder full week and coming holiday.👍👍

@WithinHikingDistance 3 года назад

You would have a lot of fun there Lance! Fall is a wonderful time to visit Arches, the weather is great and less people are on the road and trails. It is a hard choice to make on which on to visit. Balanced Rock is so cool, it is definitely a top landmark of the park and it is just off the road. Have a great week too and a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family.

@KattieMetChris 3 года назад

@hazmatt81 3 года назад

Will be there with the family in just a week's time! Can't wait...been there with my wife in 2004, but were a little time constrained, so we did most of the short hikes like the Windows loop and Balanced Rock. Also just went to the Delicate Arch View Point, but will be hiking to the Delicate Arch this time for sure. Great information on the hikes!

@WithinHikingDistance 3 года назад

This is exciting! If you want to see Delicate, we would recommend it to be your first hike in the morning. Arches NP has seen a surge of visitors and its website indicates parking is often full by 7.30 am. Have fun and thanks for your comment!

Bon matin à vous trois ! Que de souvenirs ! Je suis heureux pour vous avec le nombre de visionnement atteint déjà avec cette superbe vidéo ! Bravo! J’ai adoré la vidéo qui me rappelle de nombreuse place que nous avons visité en 2018 . Moi celle que j’ai aimé le plus c’est Landscape Arch j’y suis aller seul car Hélène avec son genoux gauche amoché il en était pas question . Puis Delicate Arch mais vue de l’autre côté près du stationnement . Il y en a d’autres aussi que j’ai fait seul Turet et North and South Window Hélène m’attendait à distance à chaque fois 😢. J’ai bien hâte de continuer à éditer ce voyage , encore beaucoup à faire ! Merci pour cette belle vidéo Bonne semaine à vous trois H&S 👩‍❤️‍👨🇨🇦🌈

Merci beaucoup Serge, c'est très gentil! C'est un parc tellement beau, c'est super que vous y soyez passés.

@RoadtrippinwithTakacs 3 года назад

Nicely done! I actually might actually put Double O above Delicate on the list. It's less crowded and has that fin walk is great. Also, you missed the best hike in the park! The Fiery Furnace hike blows all these hikes away. It's super secluded with minimal foot traffic, and is a world into it's own. Definitely check it out if you haven't before. I have a couple of videos on it if you get bored. 😁 Still a great job on the video though! 💪

@WithinHikingDistance 3 года назад

Thank you for pointing it out! We couldn't hike the Fiery Furnace hike as the road to the trail was not paved and we have car issues when visiting Moab. We preferred to play it safe 😊 It is definitely on our list when we go back. We'll check out the trail on your channel. Thanks so much! Happy Thanksgiving!

@WithinHikingDistance 3 года назад

My bad, I mixed up Fiery Furnace and Klondike Bluffs. I have no idea how we missed Fiery Furnace but we need to do it next time we go! It looks like Fiery Furnace is currently closed. Thanks guys!

@moriahcarter7557 2 года назад

My husband and I did the primitive trail in Devil's Garden. Very steep wall you have to go up or go down, depending on your approach. NOT suitable for young children and even some adults. It was my favorite trail, even in the blazing heat.

@WithinHikingDistance 2 года назад

@paulomendes9345 3 года назад

wow that was beautiful, im making plans to go end of August. how many days do i need to do what you did? thanks

@WithinHikingDistance 3 года назад

Thank you for your questions, Paulo. The length of your visit depends on a couple factors. Plan for (at least) 3 days to do these top 5 hikes if you are a regular hiker. Also plan to arrive as early as possible (such as 7am) to secure a parking spot on the most popular trails and beat the crowds on the trails. Have fun planning your trip there!

@wanderngrancanaria 3 года назад

Another very good video. The arches and rocks are really simple to reach it seams. It is possible to go outside the builded trail or is it forbidden to leave the trails? Thumb up for the video.

@WithinHikingDistance 3 года назад

Many arches are easy to get to or to see. Arches National Park has a lot of visitors so we should stay on the trails not to damage the vegetation. In the desert, it takes a lot of time for it to grow. Thanks so much Jörg!

@MrMlyarber 2 года назад

Great video, we're going there in September '22. Do we need two days there or one day to see the highlights you pointed out. Thanks. We got 7am entrance time. Do we do the Delicate Arch first?

@WithinHikingDistance 2 года назад

I'd give yourself 2-3 days to see all that I mentioned in the video. Starting with Delicate Arch might be good as it might get busy later in the day. Then head up to Devils Garden and do the hikes/sites on that road and work your way back. The visitors center is always a good place to start and there are a lot of itineraries online that you can use to plan your trip. Have fun!

@pam7942 Год назад

Just read most of comments and saw you recommend 3 days. I'm wondering if I should skip arches as we have 7 days from Vegas (right now 1 night Grand Canyon, 1 night Antelope Canyon, 1 night Arches (after Monument Valley) 1 night Bryce, 2 nights Zion. So much to see out there but my son is 17 so fairly strong hikers and I guess we'll just get taste of each park. (If we skip Monument Valley and Arches we save 8+ hours of drive time)

As much as I want to hike Delicate Arch my bad knees is the problem. If i want to see Delicate Arch viewpoint how far is it to walk there?

@WithinHikingDistance 3 года назад

It is very easy to see Delicate Arch from the Lower Delicate Arch Viewpoint. It is a flat 50 yard trail. You can bring binocular to see it better from the view point. It seems like it would be the best option for you. There is also the Upper Delicate Arch Viewpoint. It is a 0.5 mile to the viewpoint with a path moderately climbing on sandstone, which can be slippery. Thanks for your question and safe travels!

@pangher3490 2 года назад

With COVID do you need to make reservations to see these arches?

@marthaq727 3 года назад

Is this something you can hike in July?

@WithinHikingDistance 3 года назад

It will be really hot in July and this trail has absolutely no shade. If you want to hike it then, you should go around 7-8 am to have a parking spot and be able to hike it before temperatures are at their highest. Thanks for your question, Martha.
