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

[@freddymendoza2292]

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

[@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!

[@maribelc1793]

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

[@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!

[@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!

[@prowrestlingisart6742]

@@ThroughMyLens thank you! We love nature and that park so I thought it was the best place that had meaning for us😊

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.

It looks so beautiful 🤩 love it

[@HobbyWithRea]

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.

[@louise3993]

Two windows looked like a sea turtle to me. Another great video. Much respect to Pops for the climb up.

[@Thatboylenny56]

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.

[@hollylewis5664]

Great job Pops! Thanks for being so honest and vulnerable on these videos.

[@hands_on_adventures]

Hands down one of my favorites

[@ANonyMouse627]

Stunning videography! I love that you keep the colors natural. I hate hyperpigmented videos.

[@missUn1verse81]

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.

[@helenrasmussen3157]

We are going tomorrow for 5 days. Thank you for the info

[@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!

[@joemanpjg]

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

[@Jonusdcarrion]

I love Archers national park

[@stevensmith5214]

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

[@DesertRat5073]

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

[@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.

[@emilyfan99]

Thanks for sharing! I plan to go there soon.

[@gepenner]

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!

[@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.

[@Recoverywithtamye]

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

[@jojodancer5016]

Thanks for coming through Utah!! I am a California transplant. Love it here... and have hiked and backpacked all over. Happy trails.

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.....

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.
