Visit Arches and Canyonlands NPs with Jason’s Family - July

We took the opportunity of using Talia’s 4th grade free national park pass to visit the Arches and Canyonlands NPs.  So happy that Jason and Theresa were willing to take Maisie along by carrying her all the way to see amazing rock formations in these wonderful national parks.  The weather was a little too hot for all of us, however, we were determined to enjoy both parks regardless of weather conditions.  Luckily, there is a pool in the hotel that we stayed and we were able to cool off in the pool after park visits.  

We stayed in Moab, UT which is about 20 minutes drive from Arches NP.  We ventured out in the morning and came back to the hotel to cool off and then ventured out again in the afternoon.  One of the nights, we even went out to see the sunset from the park.  

Canyonlands Park is a little further away from our hotel. We went to the Island in the Sky in one day and then the Needles in another day.

In between, we also visited the Wilson Arch and the Castle Valley.
