Experience it! Arches National Park
Just north of Moab, bordered by the Colorado River, discover the natural beauty of Arches National Park. There are more than 2,000 stone arches within the park’s boundaries, formed as a result of the underground salt bed that the park rests upon. The arches are 65 million years in the making, serving as a geological window into the past. In addition to arches, you’ll find towers, balancing rocks, and massive sandstone boulders. Wander along the winding hiking trails and take in the otherworldly nature – wildflowers bloom her in bright yellows, purples, and greens, and clear skies (due to lack of light pollution) lead to unparalleled star gazing.
