The park feel otherworldly as you look at natural wonders like Delicate Arch and Landscape Arch or during a hike through The Windows section of the park. This video shows the full day my dad and I spent in Arches National Park exploring all that it had to offer. Let us know what we left off in the comments and read more at ThroughMyLens.com

    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.

    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.

    I did Arch's many years ago with my friend Harry and we did just about all the hikes except Fiery Furnace. I did not know about that one until later after leaving the park. We also did the Delicate Arch at the end and it's quite a hike. I remember how that bowl rolls downward so you have to be very careful there. If I get back that way, I'll do the Fiery Furnace Trail! Also, I remember we were hiking on a trail that was way up in the air on rocks and it was hot. We could hear an ambulance in the distance so I wouldn't be surprised if the heat got to someone! You have to be careful there and have plenty of liquids!
