Arches National Park Complete Guide: Delicate Arch, The Windows & 11 Other Arches

[@mindiwilhelm4322]

Proud of your dad for overcoming his fear to have that experience. He is a rockstar.

[@frankcarey5377]

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.

[@maribelc1793]

You have the BEST shuttle service ever! I love to see your relationship you have with your dad. So sweet 💙

[@kellyjohnson3617]

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.

[@travelwithpops]

@kelly Johnson I don't know about that, but thanks!

[@prowrestlingisart6742]

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!

[@ThroughMyLens]

Wow that is such an awesome spot for a proposal!

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

[@yashi9982]

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!

[@old.not.too.grumpy.]

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

[@colleengreen8874]

[@saschadebie6656]

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 :-)

[@ThroughMyLens]

Thanks for watching the video from Germany! Glad you got to visit Arches!

more caution needed when hiking down the bowl to the Arch...

[@GypsyRose5273]

Absolutely amazing. I will be visiting this wonderful place this year. Thank you for showing all the beautiful things there are to do.

[@MLBrooks-g3u]

Where your Dad is at 8:40, walking toward Double Arch, I stopped one morning last August as the sun was coming up and saw something I never saw before. If you stand where he is and look to the right to the rocks farther back, there is a small arch you can only see when the sun is coming up because it shines right through. When the sun isn't there, it just looks like solid rock.

[@stevensmith5214]

Awesome video, great job. So glad you got to share this experience with your dad.

[@sammychicken3457]

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.

[@ThroughMyLens]

Couldn't agree more! Thanks for watching!

[@Recoverywithtamye]

Wow!!! Thanks for your footage. It’s breathtaking.

[@MLBrooks-g3u]

My favorite National Park. I live in the east but have visited it about six times now. For some reason, when I'm there, I feel like I'm home. The place is hot, dry, dusty, but somehow very peaceful too. The only place I've ever seen a wild mountain lion (crossing the road just after sunset once).

[@ssgt2002]

Thanks for sharing. This is one the most amazing places we have seen as a family.

[@TheViewmaster1971]

Kudos to your Dad for some of those hikes... especially the last one! Thanks for another great video!!!

[@markyuen2312]

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.

[@ynot0714]

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 !

[@mikegrindstaff]

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 hiked to Delicate Arch once years ago but my knees won't take it anymore. It was the same trip where we ran into the guy lost in Fiery Furnace. I got up to Delicate Arch for sunrise. and darned if that guy we found lost at Fiery Furnace was up there too. Not totally lost this time.

[@wenisyafira8693]

This channel is suprisingly amazing, they worth millions subscribersss 😭😭😭😭

[@edwardnielsen3408]

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.

At 19:43 you are at the spot viewing Delicate Arch where I was one morning at sunup. A guy was there photographing and I had to point out something to him. A hot air balloon with passengers was coming right toward us from behind - it made a great picture.

[@Roadtosomethingnew1]

Great video. All the arches were great but delicate and landscape were my top two. Thanks for sharing

[@kcreeves199]

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.

[@maryannclevenger7774]

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 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.

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.

[@josephregallis3394]

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!

[@ThroughMyLens]

So glad you got to experience a lot of what the park has to offer!

[@mikegrindstaff]

I worked as a guide in the park and have over 400 visits...and I still haven't seen the entire park. What you think is most of the hikes...is like 1%.

[@mikegrindstaff]

Also...for the whole Moab area which includes Arches has a fatality about every 36 hours during peak visitation.

[@mikegrindstaff]

I might also add that none of my tour includes any of the places in this video...

[@juniorrodriguez3028]

[@bobalanadventures2024]

Love Moab and Canyonlands National Park.

[@WannaKamaka]

Have they ever filmed a movie there? What a great backdrop. I enjoy your reviews. It helps me decide if I even want to attempt some of these hikes.

[@ThroughMyLens]

Good question, I have no idea but it would be awesome for a movie and probably has been in one in the past

[@mikegrindstaff]

Filming for commercial purposes like movies is not allowed inside the parks...however...that doesn't mean the parks don't appear in any films. The windows area was featured in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Spielberg didn't have a permit, and was cited $600 for the shoot. When asked later about it...he said he would have paid $6000 for a permit.

[@mikegrindstaff]

Most of the desert here is BLM land who will allow film shoots with a proper permits. The most commonly used land for filming in Moab is Thelma and Louise point near Dead Horse Point state park...many films were made there...including where they drove the car off the cliff into the "Grand Canyon"...where you obviously can't drive cars.

[@nancycamaquin6648]

[@ThroughMyLens]

Thank you so much!

[@MLBrooks-g3u]

I took a hike through the Fiery Furnace twice, with a guide from the Moab Adventure Center. It was awesome but very hard, lots of climbing and scrambling, and the reason you need a permit is that it is very easy to get lost back in there. On one of my tours, we found a guy who had gotten totally lost and couldn't find his way out - he had no permit. Live and learn, I guess.

[@johnny-lz2rm]

I've always wanted to go to that part of the United States, I'm going to try and make that trip in a couple months, great video.
