Our first time at Arches National Park! (Delicate Arch, Park Avenue, Double Arch, & MORE!)

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.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you so much! That means a lot to us! We are very lucky and thankful we have each other and get to do what we do!

[@CactusAtlas]

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]

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!

[@gavrielsholtocreen8208]

Your videos continue to make up for not getting to visit your beautiful country this year, thank you!! ❤️

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We are SO happy that we can show you the US until you can visit it yourself! ❤️

[@petem6846]

Fantastic video guys! The Park Avenue hike was a great feature--when we visited we drove right past it and just focused on arches--clearly we missed something great. Thanks for including it!

[@tr5848]

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!

[@AdamandMadalyn]

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

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

It gets SO hot out there with the lack of shade! 🔥

[@bradgingerich6814]

Oh. My. Word!!!! This is one of my favorite parks ever and I haven't been there yet except through this vlog. I just was in awe of all the amazing arches!!! Thanks so much for sharing this! You have made this a very good Thursday indeed!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Soooo many more Arches to come in the next one too! It’s crazy how many are in just this park!

[@wendysmith2743]

Wow thanks for another insanely awesome video. I loved the delicate arch but am particularly fascinated by those park avenue cliffs and wonder how they got to be formed like that, just incredible. Take care. Safe travels.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

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

[@stevedietrich8936]

That looked like one FUN day!! You guys are so smart about getting out there in the early morning and catching those warm rays of sun, and missing the crowds. Your photography is just outstanding. I'm envious.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

TOTALLY worth being super tired to beat the crowds! And thanks for the kind words!

[@ChrisG-so8th]

Another beautiful video!! Southern Utah is certainly one of the most unique places in the USA! Thanks again!! Keep exploring!!

Yay! We’re so glad! Let us know if you have any questions 😄

[@Run50StatesMyWay]

Loved it! We leave in 2 weeks and can't wait to see some of the spots you highlighted especially Delicate Arch and Double Arch. You always showcase the hikes so well in your videos.

We finally visited Moab this year and were just blown away at the beauty! Such a variety!! It was smart getting up to Delicate Arch at sunrise- the crowds there are crazy!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

It was getting soooo much busier by the time we left!

[@Farawaynow]

We are really enjoying your videos, the footage is excellent. Thanks for all the extra effort to make it look so fantastic. We are really enjoying the most recent set of videos as we lived in the four corners areas for so long. Keep up the great work!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you so much!

[@jennastewart428]

Love the jet trail seen through Turret Arch. Lovely photography. Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We loved that too!!!

[@afluna5417]

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]

The trail was kind of tricky in the dark! We even saw people getting confused in the daylight too!

[@spedzu]

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!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

So glad we could take you back to your own trip!

[@lauraanderson7092]

I just stumbled upon your channel while searching. You guys are great! I appreciate your informative videos and realistic viewpoints on the areas you visit. Can't wait to watch even more!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thanks David! Have a great trip!

[@loeyminske3459]

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]

Ahhh amazing! That sounds like an incredible road trip! We are totally missing the scenery up there!

[@jazziered142]

Arches is such an approachable park. On top of that, it is simply stunning.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

It's a pretty spectacular place!

[@OutdoorMS]

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

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We are glad we could virtually scratch the Arches itch until you can make it back!

[@TravelwithSuri]

Wow! This is magnificent! I hiked the Delicate arch at sunset time and it was one of the best sunsets! Stunning capture guys!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We hear sunset is amazing there!

[@kieramarie614]

Omg this video makes me so happy!! You got some great footage, thinking of visiting for my birthday, thank you for sharing 😃🌹

I’ve been doing a lot of video research for upcoming trip cross country Boston to Vegas and back, hitting as many National Parks as we can. Your videos are not only the best I’ve found, pictures, information, and more importantly, u guys look like your having a blast together. Thanks.

[@sergepoirier2665]

I have watch many KZbin videos on the Arches and yours is the best so far. Very nicely done

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Wow, thank you, that means a lot!

[@debrabalawajder2617]

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]

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!

[@pampiper7704]

Y’all are so great - love how you commit to the sunrises in such spectacular places! Greetings from Dallas.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

The sunrises are hard, but always worth it!

[@roberttobin3609]

Great video and superb photography throughout. We were in Arches last month. It is a special place. Thank you for the joy your videos bring ❤

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Arches is amazing! We’re glad you enjoyed your trip! Thank you so much and thanks for watching, Robin!

[@maiaohe]

Thanks for taking me along on your trek through Arches. I was there a few years ago and was overwhelmed by the beauty and uniqueness of this park. I was able to catch sunset at delicate arch so it was nice to see sunrise. You two are a natural behind the camera. Keep up the great videos as I see more subscribers in your future.:)

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thanks so much for the kind words! And we hear sunset is amazing there! 😍

[@germansnout]

I usually go to Southern Utah this time of year but I planned a trip to Glacier for this summer instead. Your videos are filling the void but also giving me nostalgia induced jealousy 😅

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Ooo Glacier is our FAV! Good choice in our opinion!

[@pamelakern2849]

Beautiful hikes to magnificent places. Arches National Park holds so many surprises. The crowds seemed to be light 🤔 The hikes looked very peaceful. Loved loved this video 🤗 💙💜

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We went on a weekday and it wasn’t horrible (still pretty busy though midday)! Since kids are still in school, we beat the summer rush!

[@mikegrindstaff]

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.

[@sheafan1971]

And another awesome video 👍 Great area to see, so glad I watch the channel

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thanks for always being so supportive William!

[@jamiedabbs8876]

Thanks so much for sharing your grand adventures. Your videos are a GREAT resource to those planning their next adventures. ;) I am taking my Mom and Dad on a trip next year to celebrate their 38 years of marriage as well as Dad's 70th and Mom's 65th. Curious as to do-able, easy to moderate hiking in Arches Park and what you can see. Thanks for much in advance!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thanks so much for watching! How fun to take your parents there! All of these hikes in this video were pretty doable and moderate I would say.

[@BopjoWebDesign]

Ok, that's it. I MUST go there. It's just totally on another level. Beautiful and Spiritual. Also: "slangry?!?"...never heard that one before but it made me LOL.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Oh gosh, the slanger was real! It's one of our favorite words haha, but not one of our favorite feelings! 😂

[@thejarrettsjourney]

Sunrise at Delicate Arch... A dream!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

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

[@kelvinyschun]

Amazing video. Great tips on what to do.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you so much!

[@turisteandoentexas]

It’s a magnificent place!!! For sure!!!

Thanks for watching Denny! 😄

[@amadeomoable]

Every time we plan to go somewhere we always check your channel. We're going to visit Zion, Bryce and Horseshoe/Antelope next month and I already watched your videos multiple times. Thanks for giving me an inspiration to get up and explore the beauty of this country. Keep on showing the world your adventures. Great job and God Bless.

Yay! We are so glad we can be a resource for you! Thanks so much for watching and have a great trip!

[@jacktherex9242]

How was your trip?

[@donfenton7473]

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]

How special that you finally got to visit Delicate Arch for your birthday! And we really enjoyed the Windows area, the scenery in that small region is amazing!

[@bobculhane4746]

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 !

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

I remember that moment vividly as well! It’s one of those moments you don’t forget!

[@suzanneaydelotte801]

Amazing vlog…you two do such an awesome job and the music was great…at one point I noticed the tone changed right when a different arch appeared…really cool…maybe a coincidence but so cool! So dang gorgeous there! I also loved Adam’s introduction to performing…can’t wait to see him perform in a couple vlogs! 😂

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We try to time those beat changes with changes in scenes! Glad you caught it! 🙌🏼 and get ready for the best rock concert of all time soon! 🎸🎸🎸

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you!!

[@owenarcher4861]

Wow! I never new Arches NP had so much there! I honestly thought it was sort of lame until I watched your video and saw all the cool things to do!

It is so gorgeous! Love all of those orange rocks, especially at sunrise!

[@jakesonaplane_]

Delicate Arch is amazing at sunrise! The lighting was really good despite sunset being more famous. Great video. The scale of double arch when you're standing under it is amazing. Next video Devil's Garden?!? The hike to Double O is sooooo neat along the rock spines

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Nailed it! The hike was super cool!

[@christina7991]

I was just there a week ago! Incredibly beautiful.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

So glad you enjoyed the park!

[@MichaelYoungblood1]

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.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

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!

[@YoshiV819]

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.

[@jmpmusva]

I left Arches yesterday......Still on cloud nine. Double arch is the coolest place I've ever been.

[@cathywarriner]

First off Adam what a sweet guy you are! So chivalrous 🥰 just what a girl wants! You go! And WOW what incredible scenery! 😯

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We are glad to make you feel like you were there!

[@WhenAdventureKnox]

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! 🥳🙌

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

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!

Tacos for dinner and Arches with A + K, a pretty good ending to a long day. Look forward to the next installment of your ANP adventure.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Oooo wishing we had tacos tonight!!!

[@wolterfd]

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.

[@tellezwoodworks6407]

Awesome video guys I can’t to be at this park in two weeks.

Arches is one of our favorite parks. Unfortunately we have not yet seen Delicate Arch up close, only at a distance. You all covered a lot of ground!

We really liked how compact-ish Arches was! And that the hikes weren’t too long. We were able to see a lot!

[@ssmokeyvalley4773]

Another well done clip! Got addicted following your adventure. I wish I could give you more Likes. Btw, you should see Delicate Arch at sunset. Lot more beautiful than at sunrise when the whole arch turns to magical orange color

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We heard sunset is the ideal time, but we also hear it's SO crowded, so we are happy to forgo the best lighting for less humans haha! Thanks so much for watching!

We did Delicate a couple weeks ago at Sunset. Absolutely beautiful and not too much of a crowd then either.

We were a tad nervous, but some friends had written a blog on going for sunrise and it eased concerns!

[@jodyleatherman748]

Love you guys... All the way from WV.

Wow 😱😱 !! , Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade was filmed here 📽️....right sir ? You guys are awesome 😎. I am big fan of Aerial America of Smithsonian channel but vlogs have their own beautiful charm.Thanks for showing this. 🙏🏻

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

You’re correct! And thank you for watching!

I totally feel you about the mineral sunscreen! I wore it on vacation and couldn’t believe what I looked like in the pictures but I didn’t get burnt! I ordered some new sunscreen from Amazon Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen to try because it supposed to be completely invisible!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Ooo let us know how you like it! As soon as we get through this bottle we definitely want to try another kind! We will say, so far we haven't really gotten burnt either (minus just poor application in some areas)!

Hello Adventurers😊😊, OK so you have explored Zion, Bryce, Capital Reef, Canyonlands, and Arches...all of the BIG 5 Park's! I can't wait to see what's next!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

A couple more national park adventures and then a new state soon!

For breakfast I can recommend the Jailhouse cafe. It's on Main and 100 No. We staid 3 nights in Moab and had 3 times breakfast there. It's mandatory to have a good walk afterwards because you will get a lot of calories.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thanks so much for the the tip! We definitely have to hike a lot after eating 😂

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.

We just saw the arch on Indiana Jones the other day! Can’t believe we didn’t recognize it!

[@meganerickson4090]

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.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Oooo we didn't know that! Congrats Double Arch! Very well deserved 😍

[@leebrooks4833]

Yes, it was in the opening credits of Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade.

[@kathymcpherson2116]

I think I just missed you here too!! Saw some #vanlife type vans in the parking area and wondered if I had seen any of them online!!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Soooo many vans in Moab! 😅
