  • Despite driving through Moab a handful of times over the years, we had never been to Arches National Park! This park is home to over 2,000 natural arches and on our first day in the park we visited the iconic Delicate Arch for sunrise, hiked the Sand Dune Arch to Broken Arch loop, walked along huge walls on Park Avenue, saw the Windows and Double Arch, and more!

    I love all your videos. Your casual approach is very appealing. No macho attitude. Honest reporting of the thrills and hardships, even admitting when it was more than you reckoned. Gives confidence that us mere mortals that we can do these hikes too. Bonus - useful information of trail lengths and difficulties, including images of trail signs. Keep it up. You two are blessed to have each other to share your adventures. I’m envious.

    Arches is just gorgeous and it looks like getting up early was worth it! Certainly not the crowds I've been seeing in other Arches videos lately. Plus that lighting...! 😲

    • @AdventuresofAplusK
      @AdventuresofAplusK  3 года назад +1

      The mid-day crowds there are crazy! We lucked out by being able to mostly escape them. They even closed the park multiple times during our two weeks in the area because it was full!

    From last 2months I got craving for Arches Canyon, couldn't make it b'coz of his work pressure. You guys give me some relief by publishing this video. We visited Arches on 2019; just amazing. Happy Travelling

    Arches is such a great park! We did Delicate Arch later in the morning and it was soooo hot! Sunrise looks awesome!!

  • @YoshiV819
    @YoshiV819 Год назад

    We also did this at sunrise and the views are amazing, I know we'll go back. If you're fairly sure you're only going to do this once in your lifetime I'd go at sunset instead of sunrise for the best golden hour light on the arch.

    It was a blast from our past seeing this park through your eyes, again. It is gorgeous in a unique way, maybe due to the colors, although all the Nat'l Parks are beautiful. I have a treasure trove of great photos from here, Canyonland, and Dead Horse Point State Park, this latter being wrongly overlooked by many.
    Thanks for another heart-warming video, A&K!

  • @stevedietrich8936
    @stevedietrich8936 3 года назад +3

      We know sunset is the more iconic choice, but seeing the arch light up as the sun rose was super special (and less busy)!

    Goodness! Had three vlogs that I had to catch up on! The scenery was so beautiful and reminded me of all the old westerns that we used to watch back in the day! After all that hiking you have to be tuckered!! We've been on our own road trip down the PCH and I actually hiked to Sol-Duc Falls and the Hall of Mosses! So beautiful! Headed down from Astoria tomorrow.

    • @AdventuresofAplusK
      @AdventuresofAplusK  3 года назад

      We LOVED those cliffs! The geology behind the park is super interesting! We were going to explain it, but we struggled to figure out how to not spend 10 minutes doing a science lesson haha

    I took a short trip to Moab and Arches National Park in June 2019 that was bookended by work trips in Salt Lake City. The highlight was sunrise at the Windows. The entire park is just amazing! Great video to reminisce!

    Ahhh!!! You bring so many memories with this video. We visited Arches NP last October. We are not spring chickens anymore, so it took us a long time to get to Delicate Arch, but it was worth all the effort and getting there before sunrise. What a magnificent place! Excellent video!

    • @AdventuresofAplusK

    You sure had a full day! It's amazing what you pack into 1 day! My "likes" at Arches are Park Avenue, Fiery Furnace and hiking/walking up the steep sandstone after Landscape Arch to get to Double O Arch. The last time we were in the area 2 years ago, we did a couple of jeep trails, one of them being the Shafer Trail - super fun! Can't wait to watch your next video!

    • @AdventuresofAplusK
      @AdventuresofAplusK  3 года назад

      We even had a 3-4 hour break too! Arches was nice because nothing was too long and it’s relatively compact! We wish we could’ve done the fiery furnace but it was closed 😫. The Devils Garden trail is amazing though! Renting Jeep’s sounds super fun!

    After seeing a bunch of arches across Utah the last 2 weeks. I have to agree 👍 💯 percent with you guys Delicate Arch is bucket 🪣 list item for sure. When I came around the last corner on the narrow trail and first see it, it was just a surreal moment, didn't expect it to be so beautiful 😍. I stayed there 90mins myself !

      The park closes almost everyday at least once this time of year...they didn't used to really count the visitors, but now they have a system where they radio in parking lot counts and then close and reopen based on that...the crowding inside the park is actually much less than it used to be.

    @donfenton7473 3 года назад

    I live in Utah any have been to Moab and Arches several times. However, I had never been to Delicate Arch. So on my 60th birthday I made my family hike to it. It was a great experience. My favorite hike is the windows hikes. There are so many arches in that area and the double arch is breathtaking. Also, my grandchildren loved sand dune arch and some climbed on top so not to let them out do me I had to climb up also. Up was not bad but at 60 coming down got a little scary. But I’m the cool grandpa to my grandkids. Love your videos and the energy they have.

    • @AdventuresofAplusK

    I was really excited to finally reach your videos on Arches. I knew you would dive into this park and highlight everything it has to offer. This video did not disappoint. Awesome as always!
    I have been trying like crazy to get the family out here for the past few years. Just hasn’t worked out. It is a beautiful park but I think my urgency is to get my family out here before something happens to one of the famous arches (Delicate or Landscape). I just see all that is happening lately: glaciers receding rapidly in Glacier, major wildfires in Lassen Volcanic and Sequoia this year, etc. I know it is not likely anytime soon but it is a thought that stays in the back of my mind. If all goes according to plan, we should be here towards the end of June 2022. Not the ideal time of year but we will make it work.

      That’s a very valid concern! We feel that same urgency to get back to Glacier to see more of it before the glaciers disappear even more. It’s a great park and offers a lot to see and do, with most of it being pretty easy, which is great and let’s you see a lot in a short amount of time!

    The excitement level from me as I saw this thumbnail on my homepage was ridiculous!!! You guys did Delicate Arch right - we were just a tad too late, but the colours from sun rise were stunning. You guys did a proper exploration of it - we never made it to the viewpoint to the west of it that you did! I also loved as you were walking up, seeing the tinkles of the headlights behind you! I feel like 'fractured arch' may have been a better name for Broken Arch! You guys definitely got more out of your visits to Arches and Canyonlands than we did... jealous you got to do Park Ave, that view at the railings (well... the view past the railings) was stunning! ❤️ I adored the Windows, such a short stroll from the car park but mega rewards. I seriously can not wait for the next video as I know what's coming up. Very curious to know how much of the trail you do! 🥳🙌

      Yay! So excited to share these Arches adventures with you finally! And I think those twinkling lights were actually stars, which is crazy! We totally agree--Fractured Arch is a much more fitting name haha. We can't wait to share the next one!

    Arches is fantastic. I've never hiked to Delicate at sunrise; but have done so several times at sunset. During a visit in 2020, they kept the park open; but no Rangers...so we were able to hike thru the Fiery Furnace area (which normally requires a Ranger guide). Point of interest; the Double Arch was used in the opening scene to one of the Indiana Jones films. In Dec; near sunset, you can get a real cool pic of sunlight passing thru the two holes of the Turret Arch and striking between the North and South Window arches; forming (with imagination) a cat face.

    Double Arch recently won Utah’s Favorite Arch in a poll by KSL (a local news outlet). Definitely our family’s favorite, too. It was also featured as a backdrop for a scene in an Indiana Jones film.

    Arches is the best of the 5 parks in Utah, IMHO. I love the way everything glows orange at sunset, it's just stunning. Capitol Reef is the most underrated, I went back last March and drove down Notom Rd through the Waterpocket Fold, up the Burr Trail switchbacks and over to Boulder. Had the road to ourselves for 40+ miles - not too many people make it down that way, I guess!

    • @AdventuresofAplusK

      We LOVED Capitol Reef! We didn’t do the full burr trail, but loved what we saw! And loved the Boulder and escalante area.
