Insider Tips
- ✓Hike to Delicate Arch at sunrise or sunset — the 3-mile round trip is manageable and extraordinary
- ✓Arches requires a timed entry reservation ($2) April-October — book on recreation.gov weeks ahead
- ✓Rent a mountain bike for Slickrock Trail — it's a classic but genuinely technical, not beginner-friendly
- ✓Canyonlands Island in the Sky (40 min away) gets far fewer visitors than Arches
