Approaching from Cisco, Utah in the northeast you will traverse 10 miles of high desert plain before reaching the Colorado River. From that point, the road follows the river for 36 miles before reaching Moab. The road traverses an amazing red rock canyon with points for access to the river and scenic spots such as Fisher Towers, a must-see spot.

I thought this would involve pointing out constellations, etc. However, our guide set up an excellent telescope with great lenses, which allowed us to see nebula, star clusters, and rotating galaxies. We loved every minute!

We had a great day in Arches driving our 23 ft. RV. We got to the entrance before opening and the double line each was about 50 to 75 vehicles ahead of us. Hint: If in an RV, Get to the Devils Garden Parking Area immediately and claim an RV space. Our experience was that all the spaces went to cars and trucks that double parked in the RV spaces. We tried to park there twice during the day - late morning and mid-afternoon and were shut out both times. If you are staying at Devils Garden campground, this is not an issue for you. Nonetheless, we had a fabulous day touring the viewpoints and hiking.We did all the hikes in the Windows section, the Delicate Arch Trail (difficult) , both Delicate Arch viewpoint, Sand Dune Arch and Skyline Arch. We also hiked the Broken Arch/ Tapestry Arch loop in a clock-wise direction leaving from the Sand Dune Arch Parking Area. We went partway to the Tapestry Arch but stopped because it became difficult. It definitely was more than moderate scrambling for us. The section from the hike from the Campground to the Sand Dune Parking Area had some sections with more than moderate scrambling. In a day, we saw a large section of the NP. Only the Pine Tree and Tunnel Arches escaped us.

This spectacular bicycle trail follows the Colorado River.
Reviewed By O722VSkenb
This is a fantastic drive. The Colorado river, otherworldly potash evaporation pools, petroglyphs, dinosaur tracks, amazing geology, movie sites and then the hair-raising switchbacks up to the Island in the Sky section of Canyonlands. You'll need a high clearance vehicle, preferably 4x4. Short wheel base will help on the switchbacks; that big ole pickem up truck gonna be hanging out over space. Leave the Accord at home for this one. I'd love to do it again.

A 30-mile trail on the easy side, winding upwards through hoodoos.

We happened to find this hidden gem on our way the Base Camp Adventure Lodge for some disc golfing. If you are into off roading and awesome never forget scenery, you want to make sure to take this route. We were lucky to upgrade to a Jeep Wrangler with our rental which easily handled the road. Outside of a couple spots with rocks up higher than others, we easily made it to our destination. Just be careful on your turns and watch for oil pan busters! Many awesome photo spots, including spectacular views of the Colorado River, to stop and take in the landscape. As many have said before, pictures can’t show the awesomeness of this area! Would/will definitely do this again.

I've been riding for more than 30 years and this is some of the most fun I've ever had on a MTB. Challenging, but not too challenging; a perfect blend of rock, dirt and options. Well designed, well signed, and expertly built. Kudos.
