One day in Arches National Park will be an adventurous 24 hours you’ll be reminiscing on for years. While one day in the park isn’t enough time to do and see everything, it is enough time to experience some of the most iconic Arches like Delicate Arch, and one or two of the more adventurous …
When asked what my favorite trip I’ve ever taken is, I always quickly respond with, “Easily, our epic three-week Arizona-Utah road trip!” There’s something incredibly captivating about the southwest.

Distance: 5 miles | Time: 2.5 hrs – 3.5 hrs | Level: Hard Hiking Honaker Trail was completely unplanned and yet one of our favorite trails we did during our Arizona-Utah road trip.

Distance: 8.3 mile Loop | Time: 4.5 – 5.5 hours | Level: Moderate The Needles District of Canyonlands National Park does not get enough credit.

Distance: 3.2 miles round trip | Time: 2 – 3 hours | Level: Moderate Delicate Arch is one of the most iconic views in the U.S. southwest and, hands down, the most sought-after arch in Arches National Park.
