Ok, the challenge is getting more challenging! Just ONE National Park I’d like to visit? We are hoping to visit all the National Parks in Utah this year, and perhaps some in Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado as well. But if you make me choose…I would have to say Arches National Park would be the one I would select this year. LOL
How can you NOT choose a park that is nicknamed “A Red Rock Wonderland”? Now, I have been awed by the red rocks in Sedona, enjoyed the heavenly views in Garden of the Gods, and admired multi-colored hoodoos in Big Bend National Park. But a red rock WONDERLAND?
In order to convince you, and for your enjoyment, here is just a sampling of photos provided on the NPS photo gallery of the Arches.
Landscape arch
Double O arch
Broken arch
North Window arch and Moon
Skyline arch
And these are just examples of the daytime photos…I cannot even fathom the early morning, sunrise, sunset, and nighttime views! Ah, National Park nirvana!
This post is part of the Brave, Bold, Blogger Challenge (BBBC) issued by my moto-blog friend Kathy, aka ToadMama, to cover 28 blog prompts in the month of February. And good for undisciplined me, no rules either.
Prompt: A national park you’d like to visit

I’ve been to Arches NP twice. A beautiful place. They have 1 campground in the park. If you plan on camping there, make your reservations early. It’s a popular place. There’s plenty of campgrounds and hotels just before entering the park in Moab, UT also.

Thanks for the advice, we will plan ahead for sure, since we’ll be traveling by RV and towing bikes.

We are planning to go to 3 of the 5 in Utah. Sort of skipping Capital Reef and probably Canyonlands. Need a bob tail vehicle (such as a Ural) to take advantage of their trail system. Zion, Bryce Canyon and Arches can be seen with our non-compact truck. I think I’ve been to each of them a number of times 30+ years ago.

Richard, you can see Capitol Reef, too. It’s stunning and not to be missed.

Also be sure that you stop at Bicknell, UT at SunGlow Cafe to try either the Pinto Beans Pie or the Pickle pie! I know that it sounds gross but it is actually good!

And the Moab Brewery in Moab. They have a Jalapeño Corn Bread that’s delicious! http://www.themoabbrewery.com/menu.html

Ah, Utah. Such a wonderland. Don’t rush the parks. Make sure you schedule a ranger-led hike in Arches’ Fiery Furnace. It’s well worth it. Don’t skip Capitol Reef, even if it is oddly named. And definitely hike down into Bryce Canyon. It’s mildly strenuous and the close-up views of the rocks is not to be missed.
Richard, that goes for you, too.

I am loving all these wonderful tips, thank you! At this rate we’ll have to be in Utah for months 😉

My only disappointment with Arches is that I only had 3 hours there. I’d love to get back there some time.
