Things to know

Boasting access to two different national parks, Moab is Utah’s hiking heaven. The area houses what may just be the largest concentration of natural arches, spires, windows, and strange rock formations in the world, all of which are most prominent in the Arches and Canyonlands national parks. Arches National Park is home to over 2,000 of its namesakes, magnificent natural stone arches, which are displayed in all their glory on scenic short hikes like The Windows and Balanced Rock. Canyonlands National Park, on the other hand, hides some of the finest panoramic vistas of the area, with deep sandstone canyons and epic plateaus like Island in the Sky. Combine the two, and you get a varied and engaging desert hike sure to satisfy your inner Bedouin!

Cathy M. (source: Good Trip Adventures)

The experience was amazing. I tend to be independent wanting to go my own way but oh how I have shifted. The guides, Alex and Matt, know where to go and when so we could really enjoy the parks and hikes. They are full of insightful information about history, nature, and geography. The food, picnics, and organization was all so well done. I didn’t have to worry about anything. The views were amazing and Alex and Matt delighted in making sure we saw and experienced the best of everything the parks had to offer. The hikes were the perfect challenge to allow me to feel so satisfied about a day outside. It was such a wonderful experience with Good Trip Adventures. Thank you!
