Your pops is so fearless. He is amazing on how he keeps up with you. What a great adventure to have together. Thanks for sharing this. I hope to do that park one day.
My wife has a fear of heights and did complete this hike. Once. The next day my two daughters and I did a sunset hike while my wife enjoyed perusing Moab. Can’t wait to return to Arches.
I just ‘discovered’ your channel and I would say I am jealous with your road trips with your Dad. He is soo cool 😎 you should come to visit Canada particularly in Alberta :) you should see Banff, Jasper, Waterton Parks, and many more (of course with Dad) I will continue watching the rest of your videos without skipping the ads. Take care of your Dad, God bless and more power to both of you!
This is me and my wife’s favorite park. I proposed to her in front of windows arch. The delicate arch hike is worth it every time. Surprised to see the lack of cars and people. Loved the video as it brought back good memories and showed us stuff we haven’t seen yet. Thanks!
Thank you for the post. I've just booked a tour that includes the arches park. Your video has made this guy from England ever more excited for the trip I've wanted to do for 60 years since I was a child watching the great cowboy films of the 1950s and 60s
How beautiful, and I loved that you take the time, to show us this beautiful wonders in details, and places in I will never be able to visit, but with your channel, I can, thank you so much, and keep up this wonderful job.
Such incredible terrain, on one side you have the red rock, dry, desert, monument valley type scenery & in the distance, snow capped mountains. Incredible beauty. Thank you & kind regards from Adelaide, South Australia.
I am doing research for our trip in June and by far, leaps and bounds, your video is so well done! Your editing, voice overs, commentaries and pots are just so professionally done. thank you so much for your time and effforts. Oh and... you are one good looking young man
Thank you for sharing this video. Your Dad is so cool and funny. Looks like you two had a great time together. I wish I spent more time with my Dad when he was alive. I stumbled your video after searching for Arches NP. It's very entertaining and informative. I'm a new fan.
Thank you for posting. This video is one of the best tours I've seen of the park. The comentary was top notch and gave some lovely details. I bet you have taken some spectacular photographs here.
Love your channel. Have to disagree about the Park Ave hike, It’s one of my favorite. Here’s the trick, go to the first view point, take it all in, then drive around to the bottom of the trail and begin your hike from there. It’s flat and easy, and the scale of how high the walls are is breathtaking. Only walk half of it or until it begins to elevate then turn back. Also, it is better at a different time of day when both side are lit, and, kids can run around down there because it’s so wide and sandy.
Was at Arches over 30 years ago (Late March, Early April) and it was magnificent back then. Didn't have to make reservations either. Thanks for the update (and memories). It hasn't changed one bit.
Me also...late March "89. I was 25. Didn't even charge a fee. Hardly any people. Nothing roped off, you could walk anywhere. We thought we'd try to get on Landscape Arch. (We were invincible). On the way up there was a small sign that said "don't go any farther...X amount of people have died trying". We turned around! It sure was beautiful !
Well...having worked as a guide in the park with over 400 visits...the park has changed dramatically in just the last ten years. Impacts from tourism are very visible if you visit over and over.
I highly recommend getting a permit and hiking Fiery Furnace! We hiked it last September. Epic trail and landscape. Slots. Bouldering. Arches. Just beautiful!!
I have visited Arches NP in 2018 and it was absolutely awesome. But as usual, your video pointed me to a few things i had missed. Thank you so much for your content. It never disappoints. We were also very cautious on that narrow trail to delicate arch. So i totally get your dad on that. Greetings to you and your dad from Germany. I am a big fan :-)
Hopefully I’ll get a reservation for this Friday didn’t do much traveling with my parents since they had a very fixed income. But I’m hopping to get out more with my family and explore the places I always wanted to with them.
What a stunning location and a brilliant video, thank you. Definitely on my bucket list. And good to see Pops taking his brave pills to do that last section........I was nervous for him lol.
I keep coming back to your channel and enjoy your work. Do you think that you are blessed to do these trips with your Dad ? Awesome love. Keep on trucking 🚚
Absolutely magnificent 👍 Utah is one of my favorite state ❤️ I stayed at that place until night watching the stars.. Enjoy your trip and thanks for an awesome video 👏
Thanks! Arches and Canyonlands are the only ones we haven't been able to visit yet. Note: you need to drink a lot of water out here all year long...it's a desert and very dry.
Having gone there many times, here's my recommendations. First, not a recommendation but a important restriction. Climbing on the arches is not allowed. OK now that I've said that, try to do 2 or more days if you can. For 1 day when the permits are in effect, try to get one as early as possible. For a single day, skip the visitors center and all of the overlooks on the way in. Hit the three main areas 1st, as these will get crowded quickly, probably devils garden, then windows, then delicate arch. After you get your fill of these three areas, then hit the lookouts and lesser areas, as there is a better chance of parking than in the main areas. I agree with one other commenter on park avenue, start at the bottom, walk up the trail till you get to the big climb at the end, then go back to the bottom parking lot. The biggest problem with this is that the bottom parking lot is very small. Take time at overlooks or pull-outs and look around. Look for smaller details, shapes and textures in the rocks, distant views. Finally, be courteous and patient with other visitors in the park, it will make your visit more enjoyable. One other thing I've done is to go into the park at night when there is a full moon. Everything takes on a very different, eerie vibe, and there are very few people there.
Great video and especially the wonderful tour you gave to all of us. We were here a few times. last being Sep 2021.Park was packed as usual and parking another story. I loved the hike up to Delicate Arch (Icon of Arches), a must. Hope you saved time for Canyon lands N.P. and Dead Horse State Park, both a short drive up the highway. Both, beautiful parks and breathtaking views there... So much to see in Utah and never enough time to spend in these beautiful Parks.....Thanks again for the fabulous tour and all the valuable information.....
Great footage! Some of the best times of year to visit this park (and much of the Southwest in general) are the so-called "shoulder seasons" in April, May, September, and October. Maybe November in some places, although it can err on the cold/snowy/icy side in many.
Yay for Pops! He is a lot braver than I am. We took a shorter hike to see Delicate Arch from below. Too afraid of heights. Thanks for another great video.
I would love to know when you went in this video?!?! I want to go with my big family, and seeing this video where it’s not busy at all and there’s no one ruining your experience is amazing!!
Your videos are so helpful when I am planning trips! I love that your dad travels with you...watching him helps me get over my fears of some trails! Quick question...what winter month were you in Utah for these videos? Thank you for all your hard yet fun work!
You have the BEST shuttle service ever! I love to see your relationship you have with your dad. So sweet 💙
Your pops is so fearless. He is amazing on how he keeps up with you. What a great adventure to have together. Thanks for sharing this. I hope to do that park one day.
@kelly Johnson I don't know about that, but thanks!
It looks so beautiful 🤩 love it
Proud of your dad for overcoming his fear to have that experience. He is a rockstar.
My wife has a fear of heights and did complete this hike. Once. The next day my two daughters and I did a sunset hike while my wife enjoyed perusing Moab. Can’t wait to return to Arches.

I love when people specify about everything like you have done on this video. Even sharing the month that you took the trip is so helpful…thank you
I'm using your videos to plan out my UT Park trips. Thanks.
I feel your father's pain. I'm 59 with back surgery and a heel spur. 🙏🤞🏼
My daughter and I were there in March. Absolutely stunning views. I want to go back! We drove from Northern Michigan.
This is me and my wife’s favorite park. I proposed to her in front of windows arch. The delicate arch hike is worth it every time. Surprised to see the lack of cars and people. Loved the video as it brought back good memories and showed us stuff we haven’t seen yet. Thanks!
Wow that is such an awesome spot for a proposal!
@@ThroughMyLens thank you! We love nature and that park so I thought it was the best place that had meaning for us😊

Two windows looked like a sea turtle to me. Another great video. Much respect to Pops for the climb up.
Love how your travel with your dad. I used to do that whit my parent when they were Alive. Now I do all my road trips by my self
This are my next plan to visit arches national park 👍beautiful place
I was a hard-working tour guide, Moabian, for a while.Some of my best memories in nature.
Did you know Edward Abbey ? Are you that old? Have you read his books?
Such a good video! Ate my lunch under Delicate Arch back in "89! So peaceful! No one around. Thank you very much!
Wow, that is an amazing experience for sure!
Great job Pops! Thanks for being so honest and vulnerable on these videos.
What a treasure this content is- thank you!
Thanks for the spectacular tour of Arches National Park. BRAVO!!!
laying down in the shadows inside double arch to rest a little is great, love this park
I was there the second week of November... I grew up in that country and just seen it for the first time after living there.
Great video. I loved my visit to Arches Natl. Park. It’s was back in 1995 and everything there is AMAZING!!
Thanks for coming through Utah!! I am a California transplant. Love it here... and have hiked and backpacked all over. Happy trails.
Another great video. Thanks!
Such incredible terrain, on one side you have the red rock, dry, desert, monument valley type scenery & in the distance, snow capped mountains.

It really does! I hope you make it back with the family
Glad you could enjoy hikes with your dad at Arches National Park. Your video was inspiring and I hope to get there sometime
Wow!!! Thanks for your footage. It’s breathtaking.

more caution needed when hiking down the bowl to the Arch...
The firey furnace is an outstanding hike with the Ranger guide. A must do next bisit
Thanks for letting me know, I will have to do it
I love Archers national park
The sunset on the arch makes for a good photo.
Absolutely amazing just beautiful video love it , thank you for sharing this video
Kudos to your Dad for some of those hikes... especially the last one! Thanks for another great video!!!
Made me miss my friend that passed away last yr we went to moab for a week back in 2020
Amazing. I don't like heights either. Thank you for letting me see the beautiful view though your lenses. I had no idea there were that many arches
Wow, had no idea how amazing and fast this park is! Love seeing Pops joining in, as it gives me hope that I could do this as well.
@Nancy Young Josh has shown me that I am not dead yet and can do a lot of things! I am sure it is true for you too, Nancy.
Glad you liked the video!
Nancy, you'll always be Young!
You can do it!
Hopefully I’ll get a reservation for this Friday didn’t do much traveling with my parents since they had a very fixed income. But I’m hopping to get out more with my family and explore the places I always wanted to with them.
Thank you! ❤ This is still one of my favorite places, bar none! I really enjoyed your video! And kudos to Pops 😊
I recommend you visit MT Rainier National Park in the state of Washington, paradise is a beautiful place.
What a stunning location and a brilliant video, thank you. Definitely on my bucket list. And good to see Pops taking his brave pills to do that last section........I was nervous for him lol.
Loved the video of Arches National Park! 🙌🙌👍👍💕💕on my bucket list of parks to visit. Thank you for another great video 🙏🙏👍👍

Beautiful video ❤
Two thumbs up for all your videos!! Always the best! Thank you
Thanks for sharing this video.💚
Awesome. I can’t wait to take a trip there
Been wanting to see for half my life!
One of the best videos I've seen on Arches National Park. Nice work! I was there the first week of May this year -- my third trip and not my last!
Absolutely magnificent 👍 Utah is one of my favorite state ❤️ I stayed at that place until night watching the stars.. Enjoy your trip and thanks for an awesome video 👏
I will have to watch the stars next time, I bet it is spectacular!
We hiked the fiery furnace with the park ranger. Totally worth it. Great video. October is the best month to visit. Frequently in the 80s.
Love Moab and Canyonlands National Park.
I was there for a week 6 years ago. I want to go back. I think they have the best Visitors Center
Turrent Arch looks like Michael Phelps doing the butterfly stroke
Haha I saw a swimming tortoise
On my bucket list!
Dad must not like heights much, neither do I!! Great video 🤗👍🐬
Thanks for the comment!
Thanks! Arches and Canyonlands are the only ones we haven't been able to visit yet. Note: you need to drink a lot of water out here all year long...it's a desert and very dry.
Good tip, water all year round is important!
Devils Garden to the Double O Arch is amazing
Thanks for sharing! I plan to go there soon.
