Arches National Park
After checking out Capitol Reef National Park to see some of its fantastic landscapes, your next stop on the American West road trip will be Arches National Park on the Eastern side of Southern Utah.
You’ll want to spend a couple of days exploring and wandering through Arches National Park AND Canyonlands National Park. So we recommend booking a stay at nearby Moab, Utah, simply as a place to establish base camp.
There are many great hotel and restaurant options in Moab to choose from, too. This National Park is one of Utah’s most famous parks and one of the most popular national parks in the whole nation.
Within the park, an estimated 2,000 naturally formed rock arches in the sandstone rock litter the landscape. The most famous is the Delicate Arch, which is what we see on the state of Utah’s license plate.

I actually made that trip in 2009 plus Yellowstone, the Tetons and Glacier. Incredible memories and a number of digital photos to keep them alive. So worth doing……..
