We recently enjoyed two days in Arches National Park, opting to visit in March ahead of the summer heat and timed entry reservations that are require from April 1 to October 31. Despite visiting during the off-season, the park was relatively busy the second day of our trip because spring break had kicked off. Note …
We spent several days in Moab, Utah, so we'd have easy access to two new-to-us national parks - Canyonlands National Park and Arches National Park.
