I wrote in detail about the road trip my friend and I experienced going to Moab, Utah. You can read the whole story here. However, I haven’t shown you yet the good stuff Moab has to offer. From rock-climbing, to hiking, to just admiring the gorgeous red rocks at the Arches National Park, Moab is a place for adventurers and nature lovers!

Are you ready to explore the Arches National Park?

Delicate Arch

The trail to get up to the Delicate Arch was about 1.5 miles from the parking area, with beautiful scenery along the way. It is gradual climb, but it’s all worth it once you get to the top. Note: Wear hiking boots or some good shoes as the rocks and sand pose some good obstacles.
