Double O Arch is one of the funkiest arches we've seen! It's accessible along the Devils Garden Primitive Trail in Arches National Park, a challenging, 8 mile loop starting at the Devils Garden trailhead. Out-and-back to Double O Arch is roughly 4 miles.

Our tips for hiking the Primitive Trail:
- Arrive early! You'll want time to complete this trail.
- Check the weather and dress accordingly.
- Bring extra water, and consider bringing a lunch!

It’s hard to capture the scale and beauty of Corona Arch in a photo or video. Corona is a popular landmark, accessible from a 3 mile (round trip) hike.

The arch stands 105 feet tall, and 140 feet wide! In the 1980s and 90s, pilot Tim Martin flew planes through the arch - which is now illegal.

Weekend plans anyone?

Dirt biking is an amazing way to explore the greater Moab area beyond the nearby national parks. Guides can show you the ropes (meet this guide family in our Who Is Moab series - link in bio!) and set up your gear - or, if you’re experienced, you can rent a bike in town and do your own exploring.

Coming to Moab for Memorial Day weekend? We’ve got a few tips for helping visitors navigate a busy travel weekend.

1️⃣ Purchase a pass before you go to Arches
You can purchase a National Park pass online or in town at the Moab Infomation Center. Bring it with you to speed up your entrance!

2️⃣ Check the Arches Entrance We**am
Check the we**am before you go to the park to check if there is a line.

3️⃣ Arrive before 7 am or after 2 pm
Avoid peak times, and arrive early if you’re planning to do popular hikes like Delicate Arch or Devil’s Garden. Or, visit the park in the afternoon, or after dark!

4️⃣ Stay flexible
If popular locations are busy, try visiting a different area of the park.

& don’t forget about Canyonlands National Park! 🏜️

One of Moab's most beginner-friendly offroading routes is Chicken Corners: a route that takes you down Kane Creek Road, up and over Hurrah Pass, and through Lockhart Basin to a steep overlook just above the Colorado River. Along the way, you'll pass rock formations like these!
