      @@WithinHikingDistance Anytime. You can ask me anything about MOAB. I've been there many times. It is basically our annual trip. Death Valley and Zion are also worth exploring- just did all three (3) this past April.
      Many of the best hiking trails and hikes are deep inside various canyons and along the river but as long as you are in "MOAB" you really can't go wrong- as you already know.

    • @WithinHikingDistance
      @WithinHikingDistance  3 года назад +1

      I don't believe this creek dries up in the summer. We visited in fall and that I think it was the lower level at that point. The Colorado river is just a few km away. This trail was one of the bests we have done. We use Alltrails.com and we look on Google to find hikes. We read the reviews to determine if we want to try it out. With our 2 year-old, we had to pick the right trails for us. We have been on a few trails trails that were not great. You will not see their video because it would be so boring 😂 Thank you so much José!

      @WithinHikingDistance  3 года назад +1

      Thank you guys! Utah is a great place to visit if you enjoy nature and history. It is more of a self-guiding area, and the 5 National Parks there are well organized. The great thing about it is that some arches, natural bridges, puebloan ruins and rockart are very accessible through a short, easy walk. You can see just off the road Wilson Arch (ruclips.net/video/HQ8x7vLFKIE/видео.html) and see rockart at Newspaper rock (ruclips.net/video/E-9e405HuwA/видео.html). Hope this is helpful.

      This trail was gorgeous from the trailhead to the natural bridge. It wasn't hard but the creek was a bit deep at times and it required a bit of strategy to find the best path. The creek probably runs higher in the Spring. It was our last hike in Moab and it was perfect. Thank you so much Eric!

    • @WithinHikingDistance
      @WithinHikingDistance  3 года назад

      The trail is 2.5 miles to the arch and 2.5 miles back to the car. The trail is easy in general. The level of the stream depends on the season and may be higher in Spring. We explored in Fall and it was easy to cross. Sandstone by nature may be a little slippery but it should be fine with good hiking shoes (not tennis shoes). We found the trail safe for our family. I hope it is helpful. Thank you for your questions.
