I love all your videos. Your casual approach is very appealing. No macho attitude. Honest reporting of the thrills and hardships, even admitting when it was more than you reckoned. Gives confidence that us mere mortals that we can do these hikes too. Bonus - useful information of trail lengths and difficulties, including images of trail signs. Keep it up. You two are blessed to have each other to share your adventures. I’m envious.
It was a blast from our past seeing this park through your eyes, again. It is gorgeous in a unique way, maybe due to the colors, although all the Nat'l Parks are beautiful. I have a treasure trove of great photos from here, Canyonland, and Dead Horse Point State Park, this latter being wrongly overlooked by many. Thanks for another heart-warming video, A&K!
I live in Utah any have been to Moab and Arches several times. However, I had never been to Delicate Arch. So on my 60th birthday I made my family hike to it. It was a great experience. My favorite hike is the windows hikes. There are so many arches in that area and the double arch is breathtaking. Also, my grandchildren loved sand dune arch and some climbed on top so not to let them out do me I had to climb up also. Up was not bad but at 60 coming down got a little scary. But I’m the cool grandpa to my grandkids. Love your videos and the energy they have.
How special that you finally got to visit Delicate Arch for your birthday! And we really enjoyed the Windows area, the scenery in that small region is amazing!
After seeing a bunch of arches across Utah the last 2 weeks. I have to agree 👍 💯 percent with you guys Delicate Arch is bucket 🪣 list item for sure. When I came around the last corner on the narrow trail and first see it, it was just a surreal moment, didn't expect it to be so beautiful 😍. I stayed there 90mins myself !
Amazing vlog…you two do such an awesome job and the music was great…at one point I noticed the tone changed right when a different arch appeared…really cool…maybe a coincidence but so cool! So dang gorgeous there! I also loved Adam’s introduction to performing…can’t wait to see him perform in a couple vlogs! 😂
Hello Adventurers😊😊, OK so you have explored Zion, Bryce, Capital Reef, Canyonlands, and Arches...all of the BIG 5 Park's! I can't wait to see what's next!
Another well done clip! Got addicted following your adventure. I wish I could give you more Likes. Btw, you should see Delicate Arch at sunset. Lot more beautiful than at sunrise when the whole arch turns to magical orange color
We heard sunset is the ideal time, but we also hear it's SO crowded, so we are happy to forgo the best lighting for less humans haha! Thanks so much for watching!
Great video! I loved Adams performance😂. I hope you had time to do Devils Garden and see Double O! Such a fun hike😊. Looking forward to seeing your next Arches video.
Just another super-cool day of adventure! Everything looks awesome; can't wait to see it oneday. And i LOVE curry so there's no chance it would have made it on film for me either.... just eat!!! lol
Arches is fantastic. I've never hiked to Delicate at sunrise; but have done so several times at sunset. During a visit in 2020, they kept the park open; but no Rangers...so we were able to hike thru the Fiery Furnace area (which normally requires a Ranger guide). Point of interest; the Double Arch was used in the opening scene to one of the Indiana Jones films. In Dec; near sunset, you can get a real cool pic of sunlight passing thru the two holes of the Turret Arch and striking between the North and South Window arches; forming (with imagination) a cat face.
For breakfast I can recommend the Jailhouse cafe. It's on Main and 100 No. We staid 3 nights in Moab and had 3 times breakfast there. It's mandatory to have a good walk afterwards because you will get a lot of calories.
We missed out on Delicate Arch and it's one of our biggest regrets, but the park closed due to capacity the day we saved it for 😢 just a reason to go back!
Arches!!!!! I spent many of my childhood vacations at Arches and Canyonlands. My favorites!!!! It's been so much fun watching you enjoy Utah! I'd love to see you explore what we have up North sometime!
OK.. Today's comment.... If you hike, you can get to Tower Arch off the Salt Valley road OR (here's the jeep rental thing again) you can take the 4wd road to the arch and then catch Eye of the Whale on the way out. Don't miss Fisher's Towers out on Hwy 128.
I'll be in Utah the week of June 5 and I'm using your videos to plan my trip. Sunset is going to work better for me for Delicate Arch. I heard you say something about biting gnats and someone else commented about them on AllTrails. Bug spray suggestions?
Those little biting gnats were an unpleasant surprise! We only ran into them at Delicate Arch thankfully, but didn't have any bug spray on us at the time. We typically use OFF! spray, but cannot confirm that they keep these pesty little guys away!
Arches is just gorgeous and it looks like getting up early was worth it! Certainly not the crowds I've been seeing in other Arches videos lately. Plus that lighting...! 😲
The mid-day crowds there are crazy! We lucked out by being able to mostly escape them. They even closed the park multiple times during our two weeks in the area because it was full!
Another great video!! Arches was a great place. All of southern Utah was great and so different from each other! So how many National Parks now how you visited?
Hi, next week I’m going to be at moab, and of course I want to explore the National park. Obviously I don’t wanna get lost. So my question is what’s the app that you guys used for trails? I love your videos. (I hope i’ve explained my self because english is not my first language). Saludos!!!
Your English is fantastic! The app we use is AllTrails! It is an amazing app with lots of helpful features. The pro version is pretty cheap and worth every penny if you hike a decent amount! Thanks for watching, Mayra! We hope you have a great time in Moab! P.S. We have a guide on our website as well for more things to do in the area!
Does Anyone know if it is possible entry the park before sunrise with the new timed entry? I really wanted to avoid the crowds but I feel that with the timed entry I’ll just get there with everyone else.
You could definitely do this in a day! We took about a 3 hour break mid-day and definitely didn't have to rush as much as we do sometimes. We've been slowing down a lot on filming days (filming makes everything take longer) so we don't have to rush and can give a more realistic idea to those watching of how much they can do in that timeframe.
This was end of April, but we have been in Moab in November and it did snow and was really cold. One thing to keep in mind is a handful of places in town close in November for the season.
@@AdventuresofAplusK Oh wow! All around November or do you think if we did early November it would make much of a difference? Got it. Thanks for the heads up about town!
Hey Christina! I’m from South Carolina and I just went at the beginning of the November and it was a solid mid 60s day! Depends on each year I guess, but I’d recommend November for sure!
It started to get close to 90 degrees by the time we left Moab, but the mornings are a lot colder than the afternoons. We always suggest packing layers so you have options!
We didn’t think so, but we know some folks struggle with the narrow parts towards the end. But since the trail was empty, we felt safe. It does have some uphill at the beginning, but not too bad!
Can we park at any time and go really early? We plan to sleep in our car at the park and start hiking before sunrise. Also, I just read that there are a couple of parking spots for Delicate Arch.. Would you happen to know which is the closest lot?
You are not allowed to sleep in the park outside of the campground, just FYI. They love to try to bust people for this (we have been accused of this multiple times despite us knowing the rules and never doing it). But there is dispersed camping nearby and you can enter the park at anytime. The trail for the hike starts here and there is a good sized lot: goo.gl/maps/3b5kr5s5XxLSQRsv9
@@AdventuresofAplusK Awww, so we can’t sleep in our car at the parking lot? We were planning on flying into SLC the night before and driving straight to Arches N.P. And sleeping in the parking lot there since we have a park pass. We didn’t want to risk coming in late and having to wait in line.
Curious how you all stay connected for work while on the road traveling? Do you always just have to find a place that has connection or do you have a set up that allows you do work in more remote areas?
@@AdventuresofAplusK thank you that was helpful. Have another interesting question for you. Wife and I have been following you all for some time. We are curious if you had to stop traveling like you do were do you think you would want to settle down? I know you have both seen a lot of the Country so Curitiba know your favorite towns.
Good question! We have no plans to settle down anytime soon, but eventually we may have a small part time home base (still would be a while from now). The west has our heart and we especially love Washington (where we lived before), Oregon, Idaho, and Montana. Definitely would probably pick a medium sized town, like Bellingham, Bend, Bozeman, and Boise (we joke that "B" named cities speak to us lol). We loved living in Seattle, but I think van life has made us realize we like smaller cities even more.
@@AdventuresofAplusK that is funny. We live in Portland ourselves and have been thinking about Bend. Awesome town but boy housing has got expensive. Haven’t spent too much time in Idaho but need to.
I usually go to Southern Utah this time of year but I planned a trip to Glacier for this summer instead. Your videos are filling the void but also giving me nostalgia induced jealousy 😅
Ok, that's it. I MUST go there. It's just totally on another level. Beautiful and Spiritual. Also: "slangry?!?"...never heard that one before but it made me LOL.
That looked like one FUN day!! You guys are so smart about getting out there in the early morning and catching those warm rays of sun, and missing the crowds. Your photography is just outstanding. I'm envious.
I totally feel you about the mineral sunscreen! I wore it on vacation and couldn’t believe what I looked like in the pictures but I didn’t get burnt! I ordered some new sunscreen from Amazon Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen to try because it supposed to be completely invisible!
Ooo let us know how you like it! As soon as we get through this bottle we definitely want to try another kind! We will say, so far we haven't really gotten burnt either (minus just poor application in some areas)!
Goodness! Had three vlogs that I had to catch up on! The scenery was so beautiful and reminded me of all the old westerns that we used to watch back in the day! After all that hiking you have to be tuckered!! We've been on our own road trip down the PCH and I actually hiked to Sol-Duc Falls and the Hall of Mosses! So beautiful! Headed down from Astoria tomorrow.
Wow thanks for another insanely awesome video. I loved the delicate arch but am particularly fascinated by those park avenue cliffs and wonder how they got to be formed like that, just incredible. Take care. Safe travels.
We LOVED those cliffs! The geology behind the park is super interesting! We were going to explain it, but we struggled to figure out how to not spend 10 minutes doing a science lesson haha
Are you sure you are on planet earth?🤣 Again another spectacular video, which I continue to rewind and pause. Unbelievable beauty! Thank you so much for taking us along! ~Cara 😊
Another great video like always! Quick question. We we're patreon and you refunded our money a few months ago. You indicated that you didn't think you were putting enough content out there or something? The 2 of you are putting out more quality content than anybody we follow! We would gladly join again!
Hi y'all! THANK YOU for being our Patrons! 💗 We paused it for now, as we personally only feel comfortable with the idea of Patreon if we can provide a lot of exclusive content and value on there, which for the time being, we just didn't feel we could do (life has been a bit chaotic since hitting the road again) and we wouldn't feel right about that. But we REALLY appreciate the support on Patreon and the support off Patreon! Our goal right now is to create as much free content as possible, for anyone to enjoy! (Our videos and website thankfully do make a pretty decent income, while remaining free for everyone, so just watching, liking, commenting, and reading our website helps us more than you know!)
Thanks so much for sharing your grand adventures. Your videos are a GREAT resource to those planning their next adventures. ;) I am taking my Mom and Dad on a trip next year to celebrate their 38 years of marriage as well as Dad's 70th and Mom's 65th. Curious as to do-able, easy to moderate hiking in Arches Park and what you can see. Thanks for much in advance!
We also did this at sunrise and the views are amazing, I know we'll go back. If you're fairly sure you're only going to do this once in your lifetime I'd go at sunset instead of sunrise for the best golden hour light on the arch.
Just drove from Michigan to the coast of California and Oregon and back in 23 days and your videos were super helpful all along the way for cool stuff to do. Thank you very much:)
The excitement level from me as I saw this thumbnail on my homepage was ridiculous!!! You guys did Delicate Arch right - we were just a tad too late, but the colours from sun rise were stunning. You guys did a proper exploration of it - we never made it to the viewpoint to the west of it that you did! I also loved as you were walking up, seeing the tinkles of the headlights behind you! I feel like 'fractured arch' may have been a better name for Broken Arch! You guys definitely got more out of your visits to Arches and Canyonlands than we did... jealous you got to do Park Ave, that view at the railings (well... the view past the railings) was stunning! ❤️ I adored the Windows, such a short stroll from the car park but mega rewards. I seriously can not wait for the next video as I know what's coming up. Very curious to know how much of the trail you do! 🥳🙌
Yay! So excited to share these Arches adventures with you finally! And I think those twinkling lights were actually stars, which is crazy! We totally agree--Fractured Arch is a much more fitting name haha. We can't wait to share the next one!
We finally visited Moab this year and were just blown away at the beauty! Such a variety!! It was smart getting up to Delicate Arch at sunrise- the crowds there are crazy!
We are really enjoying your videos, the footage is excellent. Thanks for all the extra effort to make it look so fantastic. We are really enjoying the most recent set of videos as we lived in the four corners areas for so long. Keep up the great work!
From last 2months I got craving for Arches Canyon, couldn't make it b'coz of his work pressure. You guys give me some relief by publishing this video. We visited Arches on 2019; just amazing. Happy Travelling
Delicate Arch is amazing at sunrise! The lighting was really good despite sunset being more famous. Great video. The scale of double arch when you're standing under it is amazing. Next video Devil's Garden?!? The hike to Double O is sooooo neat along the rock spines
Loved it! We leave in 2 weeks and can't wait to see some of the spots you highlighted especially Delicate Arch and Double Arch. You always showcase the hikes so well in your videos.
Wow 😱😱 !! , Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade was filmed here 📽️....right sir ? You guys are awesome 😎. I am big fan of Aerial America of Smithsonian channel but vlogs have their own beautiful charm.Thanks for showing this. 🙏🏻
As far as that sunscreen, when I wear that stuff and forget to shave? The ladies at the Tulum ruins ticket booth were trying to disguise their horror. Later I had to admonish my wife: "Why didn't'choo tell me? I look like the reanimated dead." I'd also vote Double Arch as my favorite, but it would look too complicated for the Utah license plate, so Delicate Arch will continue to smugly hold down that spot. And I was curious as to what a "Broken Arch" would be. Then it really wouldn't be an arch anymore, like poor "Darwin's Arch" this past week, waiting for its new name. To me, a Broken Arch would be....Horns? Handlebars? Oh, well, they had to call it something.
Hahahaha the whiteness of the sunscreen sticks in Adam's facial hair SO badly lol! They were probably like "eh, has a small crack, I guess broken will work!" It's funny though because quite a few had that look to them, but I guess this one stole the name broken first!
Hi Kathryn, what kind of tennis shoes are you wearing on these hikes? They look really comfortable and great for times when hiking boots would be overkill. I looked on your website but couldn't find them listed anywhere. Thanks! I'm in the market for a new pair and am having trouble deciding.
Hi! I normally wear my Lowa renegades, but I may have had my old Altra Superiors on. They are great! I used to wear them daily before getting AllBirds and sometimes still wear them when I am too lazy to wear my boots haha
As always love your videos. We will be staying in Moab for 5 days this summer, the information you provide in the video and comments will be very helpful. THANK YOU!!!
thank you both for the video, seeing what you saw make me feel to try an visit it , in making the walk in those arches. my g/f / wife , try , what else your you going to do?, well in June i will try. but watching your video i feel already i was there,! thank you again.
We started to take a family trip to Arches in 2018, but it got derailed to The Grand Canyon. ;) Still on the to do list though! LOL @ Adam on stage! :):)
Love you two. So funny and relaxed. Do you mind describe the lines at entrance? I am sure no line at 3 am but what about coming back from Moab after lunch?
Surprisingly not bad at all! I thinkkk we may have thrown in a quick clip coming back in (or maybe I left it out, I don't remember), but it took maybe 5 minutes max to get back in. HOWEVER, we passed by the park a few times during our two weeks in the area and it was full. We visited on a weekday, which I think helped a good amount! Sunrise and sunset times are definitely less busy in the park, so if you do leave, coming back late afternoon will probably be fine, like it was for us.
so fun there! When we visited 2 years ago and hiked to Delicate...it was all calm but as soon as we turned the corner and got on that narrow part right before the arch like 50 mph winds or something whipped up. It was crazy. Wind was just blasting us so we only got to "see" the arch for like 1 minute before we had to retreat. Kind of a bummer but it was amazing to see how big it is. Luckily we did Corona arch outside the park a different day so that made up for it. Did you get any good night skies while you were out there?
We 1000% believe the wind you experienced! Our entire time in the area was SO dang windy, which made filming so hard at times. We LOVED Corona Arch and that'll be in our final video from Utah! Unfortunately we were so dang tired every night that we never checked out the night skies in Utah (big regret!), but we have on previous visits to the area!
Arches is a special place. Got to visit for 2 days about 3 years ago. Did not have time to get out to Delicate Arch so that is one I have to see next visit. Thanks for sharing. Safe travels.
I took a short trip to Moab and Arches National Park in June 2019 that was bookended by work trips in Salt Lake City. The highlight was sunrise at the Windows. The entire park is just amazing! Great video to reminisce!
You saw soooo much in one day! Beautiful video. PS My hubby still helps me along the trail, even after 37 years of marriage. He's the best. Safe travels.
It was a busy day! We managed to squeeze in a little break too, which was nice! And what a good husband ❤️ I know Adam will be the same 30 years from now!
You sure had a full day! It's amazing what you pack into 1 day! My "likes" at Arches are Park Avenue, Fiery Furnace and hiking/walking up the steep sandstone after Landscape Arch to get to Double O Arch. The last time we were in the area 2 years ago, we did a couple of jeep trails, one of them being the Shafer Trail - super fun! Can't wait to watch your next video!
We even had a 3-4 hour break too! Arches was nice because nothing was too long and it’s relatively compact! We wish we could’ve done the fiery furnace but it was closed 😫. The Devils Garden trail is amazing though! Renting Jeep’s sounds super fun!
I was really excited to finally reach your videos on Arches. I knew you would dive into this park and highlight everything it has to offer. This video did not disappoint. Awesome as always! I have been trying like crazy to get the family out here for the past few years. Just hasn’t worked out. It is a beautiful park but I think my urgency is to get my family out here before something happens to one of the famous arches (Delicate or Landscape). I just see all that is happening lately: glaciers receding rapidly in Glacier, major wildfires in Lassen Volcanic and Sequoia this year, etc. I know it is not likely anytime soon but it is a thought that stays in the back of my mind. If all goes according to plan, we should be here towards the end of June 2022. Not the ideal time of year but we will make it work.
That’s a very valid concern! We feel that same urgency to get back to Glacier to see more of it before the glaciers disappear even more. It’s a great park and offers a lot to see and do, with most of it being pretty easy, which is great and let’s you see a lot in a short amount of time!
Amazing video! I’m so happy I found it! We’ve been planning out our 2 days in Arches and this is very helpful, and you’ve inspired me to get up early to see Delicate Arch at sunrise 😊 I am struggling with what to wear at the end of September, being from Indiana it’s a little different out west. Any tips? Also, what time of day did you reenter the park? They make it seem like they have the gate shut down and turning cars away, but you guys had no issue.
It's soooo worth the early wakeup! And it's hard to say about weather, since it can vary a lot, but the temperatures are colder in the mornings and warmer in the afternoons, so pack layers for sure! And I think we re-entered around 4 PM or so and there was no line!

Great video! Y'all definitely covered some ground at Arches National Park. Really enjoyed this!
Thank you!!
Another beautiful video!! Southern Utah is certainly one of the most unique places in the USA! Thanks again!! Keep exploring!!
Thanks so much Chris!
I have watch many UA-cam videos on the Arches and yours is the best so far.
Very nicely done
Wow, thank you, that means a lot!
Great video and superb photography throughout. We were in Arches last month. It is a special place. Thank you for the joy your videos bring ❤
Arches is amazing! We’re glad you enjoyed your trip! Thank you so much and thanks for watching, Robin!

A couple more national park adventures and then a new state soon!
Amazing video...great weather
I just returned and was overcast and rain
We would’ve enjoyed a bit less sun haha! It got very hot!

LOL! Glad you understand! Filming food is torturous when we are hungry 😂😂
You guys should experience the night sky at both Arches and Canyonlands. The stars are amazing.
I bet!
Looks so beautiful out there :) You guys are making me very jealous!
It is so gorgeous! Love all of those orange rocks, especially at sunrise!
Arches is fantastic. I've never hiked to Delicate at sunrise; but have done so several times at sunset.

We just saw the arch on Indiana Jones the other day! Can’t believe we didn’t recognize it!
So so beautiful. Love the videos.
Thanks so much Mike!

Thanks so much for the the tip! We definitely have to hike a lot after eating 😂
That concert was lit… 🔥
Hahaha thank you 😂😂
I have been all around it but never into the Park itself. It is now on my itinerary for #Roadtrip2022 Great Vid!
We hope you have a great time! That’s how we were before this trip!
Awesome video guys I can’t to be at this park in two weeks.
We hope you have a great time!
We missed out on Delicate Arch and it's one of our biggest regrets, but the park closed due to capacity the day we saved it for 😢 just a reason to go back!
We saw that happen a few times while we were there! 😳 But yes, just a reason to go back!
Wow you guys hiked the Delicate Arch at night! That’s brave! 😊
We were a tad nervous, but some friends had written a blog on going for sunrise and it eased concerns!
Thank u so much for your info. We will be there on weekdays only, and will definitely try sun set. Can't promise sunrise it is too hard to get up 3am.
We were there on weekdays and it definitely helps a little!
this place is amazing! 👍
We couldn't agree more!
Arches!!!!! I spent many of my childhood vacations at Arches and Canyonlands. My favorites!!!! It's been so much fun watching you enjoy Utah! I'd love to see you explore what we have up North sometime!
We definitely want to come back to explore more of Northern Utah! We did a little bit last summer and loved it!
@@AdventuresofAplusK Yay! I just added those videos to my playlist! Can't wait to watch!
OK.. Today's comment.... If you hike, you can get to Tower Arch off the Salt Valley road OR (here's the jeep rental thing again) you can take the 4wd road to the arch and then catch Eye of the Whale on the way out. Don't miss Fisher's Towers out on Hwy 128.
We hit up Fishers Towers in our final Utah video...SO cool!!!
Leaving for Moab tomorrow! Thanks for the info
Have a great time!!

VERY excited for our next series! 🏔
Oh btw you are the reason I am now adding Capitol Reef on my Sept trip in Mighty Five area. The way u devour the pie did the trick.
YES! LOVE that park! And those pies 😍
I think I just missed you here too!! Saw some #vanlife type vans in the parking area and wondered if I had seen any of them online!!
Soooo many vans in Moab! 😅
Bellissimo 👏
Grazie! 💗
@@AdventuresofAplusK Greetings from Veneto (Italy) thanks for the beautiful pictures, I hope to come and see them.
Hi, next week I’m going to be at moab, and of course I want to explore the National park. Obviously I don’t wanna get lost. So my question is what’s the app that you guys used for trails? I love your videos. (I hope i’ve explained my self because english is not my first language). Saludos!!!
Your English is fantastic! The app we use is AllTrails! It is an amazing app with lots of helpful features. The pro version is pretty cheap and worth every penny if you hike a decent amount! Thanks for watching, Mayra! We hope you have a great time in Moab!
P.S. We have a guide on our website as well for more things to do in the area!
Does Anyone know if it is possible entry the park before sunrise with the new timed entry? I really wanted to avoid the crowds but I feel that with the timed entry I’ll just get there with everyone else.
Yes you can get in before the timed entry! There is more info on the park website. Good luck!
What time of year did you make this hike to the Delicate Arch? I scrolled through the comments and didn't notice...
I think this was very end of April/early May
It would be great to have the dates you were there. Just for weather/time of year times to visit.
This was filmed on April 29!
@@AdventuresofAplusK Awesome thanks. On our list for next year so trying to plan the best time to go before school get out.
It’s definitely busy in April, but we didn’t see many kids around, so I’m sure it gets a LOT busier in late May and the summer!
On another travel video it was stated that the Delicate Arch and the Landscape Arch got the names reversed when the map maker marked the map wrong.
Oh interesting! We hadn't heard that explanation.
How much time should we allocate to see what you did on video?
You could definitely do this in a day! We took about a 3 hour break mid-day and definitely didn't have to rush as much as we do sometimes. We've been slowing down a lot on filming days (filming makes everything take longer) so we don't have to rush and can give a more realistic idea to those watching of how much they can do in that timeframe.
Where can we buy tickets to the concert?? 😂
Hahahaha it's sold out, but we will give ya backstage passes 😜
@@AdventuresofAplusK count us in! Can we get the concert merch or is that sold out too?
10 shirts with our faces on it coming your way!
What time of year did y'all go during this video? I'm from the South so I'm nervous November would be snowing or too cold? What are your thoughts?
This was end of April, but we have been in Moab in November and it did snow and was really cold. One thing to keep in mind is a handful of places in town close in November for the season.
@@AdventuresofAplusK Oh wow! All around November or do you think if we did early November it would make much of a difference?
Got it. Thanks for the heads up about town!
Earlier would probably be better! Of course it could be not super cold or snowy at all, it just really depends and varies year to year
Hey Christina! I’m from South Carolina and I just went at the beginning of the November and it was a solid mid 60s day! Depends on each year I guess, but I’d recommend November for sure!
we are planning to go arches national park 29th of this month. is it cold?.. do we need to wear jackets and stuff. it's my first time. no idea at all.
It started to get close to 90 degrees by the time we left Moab, but the mornings are a lot colder than the afternoons. We always suggest packing layers so you have options!
Before visiting Double Arch you should be required to watch the beginning of Indiana Jones and the last Crusade. Ahhh, River Phoenix.
We didn't realize it was in that movie, but have seen it (been a while)!
Is the hike at Arches for Delicate Arch strenuous?
We didn’t think so, but we know some folks struggle with the narrow parts towards the end. But since the trail was empty, we felt safe. It does have some uphill at the beginning, but not too bad!
@@AdventuresofAplusK Thank you!
Can we park at any time and go really early? We plan to sleep in our car at the park and start hiking before sunrise. Also, I just read that there are a couple of parking spots for Delicate Arch.. Would you happen to know which is the closest lot?
You are not allowed to sleep in the park outside of the campground, just FYI. They love to try to bust people for this (we have been accused of this multiple times despite us knowing the rules and never doing it). But there is dispersed camping nearby and you can enter the park at anytime. The trail for the hike starts here and there is a good sized lot: goo.gl/maps/3b5kr5s5XxLSQRsv9
@@AdventuresofAplusK Awww, so we can’t sleep in our car at the parking lot? We were planning on flying into SLC the night before and driving straight to Arches N.P. And sleeping in the parking lot there since we have a park pass. We didn’t want to risk coming in late and having to wait in line.
Curious how you all stay connected for work while on the road traveling? Do you always just have to find a place that has connection or do you have a set up that allows you do work in more remote areas?
Hi! We answer that in this FAQ post: adventuresofaplusk.com/van-life-faqs/#29-van-life-logistics
@@AdventuresofAplusK thank you that was helpful. Have another interesting question for you. Wife and I have been following you all for some time. We are curious if you had to stop traveling like you do were do you think you would want to settle down? I know you have both seen a lot of the Country so Curitiba know your favorite towns.
Good question! We have no plans to settle down anytime soon, but eventually we may have a small part time home base (still would be a while from now). The west has our heart and we especially love Washington (where we lived before), Oregon, Idaho, and Montana. Definitely would probably pick a medium sized town, like Bellingham, Bend, Bozeman, and Boise (we joke that "B" named cities speak to us lol). We loved living in Seattle, but I think van life has made us realize we like smaller cities even more.
@@AdventuresofAplusK that is funny. We live in Portland ourselves and have been thinking about Bend. Awesome town but boy housing has got expensive. Haven’t spent too much time in Idaho but need to.
Idaho is amazing! Our plan is to hopefully buy land and build a tiny house someday, but we will see if it happens!
I usually go to Southern Utah this time of year but I planned a trip to Glacier for this summer instead. Your videos are filling the void but also giving me nostalgia induced jealousy 😅
Ooo Glacier is our FAV! Good choice in our opinion!
Your videos continue to make up for not getting to visit your beautiful country this year, thank you!! ❤️
We are SO happy that we can show you the US until you can visit it yourself! ❤️
Arches is such a great park! We did Delicate Arch later in the morning and it was soooo hot! Sunrise looks awesome!!
It gets SO hot out there with the lack of shade! 🔥
Ok, that's it. I MUST go there. It's just totally on another level. Beautiful and Spiritual.
Also: "slangry?!?"...never heard that one before but it made me LOL.
Oh gosh, the slanger was real! It's one of our favorite words haha, but not one of our favorite feelings! 😂
That looked like one FUN day!! You guys are so smart about getting out there in the early morning and catching those warm rays of sun, and missing the crowds. Your photography is just outstanding. I'm envious.
TOTALLY worth being super tired to beat the crowds! And thanks for the kind words!
I totally feel you about the mineral sunscreen! I wore it on vacation and couldn’t believe what I looked like in the pictures but I didn’t get burnt! I ordered some new sunscreen from Amazon Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen to try because it supposed to be completely invisible!
Ooo let us know how you like it! As soon as we get through this bottle we definitely want to try another kind! We will say, so far we haven't really gotten burnt either (minus just poor application in some areas)!
One of my favorite National Parks. I have been there 5 times. I love the 4 corners area!
I'll buy tickets for Adam's concert under the arch
Hahahah just wait until you see his rock concert in the needles!
Goodness! Had three vlogs that I had to catch up on! The scenery was so beautiful and reminded me of all the old westerns that we used to watch back in the day! After all that hiking you have to be tuckered!! We've been on our own road trip down the PCH and I actually hiked to Sol-Duc Falls and the Hall of Mosses! So beautiful! Headed down from Astoria tomorrow.
Ahhh amazing! That sounds like an incredible road trip! We are totally missing the scenery up there!
Wow thanks for another insanely awesome video. I loved the delicate arch but am particularly fascinated by those park avenue cliffs and wonder how they got to be formed like that, just incredible. Take care. Safe travels.
We LOVED those cliffs! The geology behind the park is super interesting! We were going to explain it, but we struggled to figure out how to not spend 10 minutes doing a science lesson haha
Are you sure you are on planet earth?🤣 Again another spectacular video, which I continue to rewind and pause. Unbelievable beauty! Thank you so much for taking us along! ~Cara 😊
Surprise, our van turned into a space ship! lol!
@@AdventuresofAplusK 🤣🤣
Another great video like always! Quick question. We we're patreon and you refunded our money a few months ago. You indicated that you didn't think you were putting enough content out there or something? The 2 of you are putting out more quality content than anybody we follow! We would gladly join again!
Hi y'all! THANK YOU for being our Patrons! 💗 We paused it for now, as we personally only feel comfortable with the idea of Patreon if we can provide a lot of exclusive content and value on there, which for the time being, we just didn't feel we could do (life has been a bit chaotic since hitting the road again) and we wouldn't feel right about that. But we REALLY appreciate the support on Patreon and the support off Patreon! Our goal right now is to create as much free content as possible, for anyone to enjoy! (Our videos and website thankfully do make a pretty decent income, while remaining free for everyone, so just watching, liking, commenting, and reading our website helps us more than you know!)
“How’s everyone doing out there??” “Whooooo, we’re good” 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Thanks so much for sharing your grand adventures. Your videos are a GREAT resource to those planning their next adventures. ;) I am taking my Mom and Dad on a trip next year to celebrate their 38 years of marriage as well as Dad's 70th and Mom's 65th. Curious as to do-able, easy to moderate hiking in Arches Park and what you can see. Thanks for much in advance!
Thanks so much for watching! How fun to take your parents there! All of these hikes in this video were pretty doable and moderate I would say.
We also did this at sunrise and the views are amazing, I know we'll go back. If you're fairly sure you're only going to do this once in your lifetime I'd go at sunset instead of sunrise for the best golden hour light on the arch.
Sunrise at Delicate Arch... A dream!
We know sunset is the more iconic choice, but seeing the arch light up as the sun rose was super special (and less busy)!
Getting up early for hikes is the way to go for sure ☀️❤️ Especially important for super popular parks like Arches! Awesome video y’all :)
1000%! We got pretty lucky to avoid most crowds in Utah with our sunrise starting times!
We did Delicate a couple weeks ago at Sunset. Absolutely beautiful and not too much of a crowd then either.
That's awesome! We have heard that there can be 100+ people at sunset, so that's great you didn't experience that!
Just drove from Michigan to the coast of California and Oregon and back in 23 days and your videos were super helpful all along the way for cool stuff to do. Thank you very much:)
Woo! That sounds amazing!!!
What time do y'all go to bed for sunrise hikes? Dedication!
The excitement level from me as I saw this thumbnail on my homepage was ridiculous!!! You guys did Delicate Arch right - we were just a tad too late, but the colours from sun rise were stunning. You guys did a proper exploration of it - we never made it to the viewpoint to the west of it that you did! I also loved as you were walking up, seeing the tinkles of the headlights behind you! I feel like 'fractured arch' may have been a better name for Broken Arch! You guys definitely got more out of your visits to Arches and Canyonlands than we did... jealous you got to do Park Ave, that view at the railings (well... the view past the railings) was stunning! ❤️ I adored the Windows, such a short stroll from the car park but mega rewards. I seriously can not wait for the next video as I know what's coming up. Very curious to know how much of the trail you do! 🥳🙌
Yay! So excited to share these Arches adventures with you finally! And I think those twinkling lights were actually stars, which is crazy! We totally agree--Fractured Arch is a much more fitting name haha. We can't wait to share the next one!
We finally visited Moab this year and were just blown away at the beauty! Such a variety!! It was smart getting up to Delicate Arch at sunrise- the crowds there are crazy!
It was getting soooo much busier by the time we left!
Arches is one of our favorite parks. Unfortunately we have not yet seen Delicate Arch up close, only at a distance. You all covered a lot of ground!
We really liked how compact-ish Arches was! And that the hikes weren’t too long. We were able to see a lot!
Another beautiful landscape! You've found one of the kind of places you could spend days exploring!
There is SO much to do around there it’s insane!
Such gorgeous country! Thank you ~
We are really enjoying your videos, the footage is excellent. Thanks for all the extra effort to make it look so fantastic. We are really enjoying the most recent set of videos as we lived in the four corners areas for so long. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much!
From last 2months I got craving for Arches Canyon, couldn't make it b'coz of his work pressure. You guys give me some relief by publishing this video. We visited Arches on 2019; just amazing. Happy Travelling
We are glad we could virtually scratch the Arches itch until you can make it back!
Wow! This is magnificent! I hiked the Delicate arch at sunset time and it was one of the best sunsets! Stunning capture guys!
We hear sunset is amazing there!
Delicate Arch is amazing at sunrise! The lighting was really good despite sunset being more famous. Great video. The scale of double arch when you're standing under it is amazing. Next video Devil's Garden?!? The hike to Double O is sooooo neat along the rock spines
Nailed it! The hike was super cool!
Omg this video makes me so happy!! You got some great footage, thinking of visiting for my birthday, thank you for sharing 😃🌹
Thank you so much and thanks for watching!
Loved it! We leave in 2 weeks and can't wait to see some of the spots you highlighted especially Delicate Arch and Double Arch. You always showcase the hikes so well in your videos.
Thank you so much! Have an amazing trip, it's even better in real life!
Wow 😱😱 !! , Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade was filmed here 📽️....right sir ? You guys are awesome 😎. I am big fan of Aerial America of Smithsonian channel but vlogs have their own beautiful charm.Thanks for showing this. 🙏🏻
You’re correct! And thank you for watching!
As far as that sunscreen, when I wear that stuff and forget to shave? The ladies at the Tulum ruins ticket booth were trying to disguise their horror. Later I had to admonish my wife: "Why didn't'choo tell me? I look like the reanimated dead."
I'd also vote Double Arch as my favorite, but it would look too complicated for the Utah license plate, so Delicate Arch will continue to smugly hold down that spot.
And I was curious as to what a "Broken Arch" would be. Then it really wouldn't be an arch anymore, like poor "Darwin's Arch" this past week, waiting for its new name. To me, a Broken Arch would be....Horns? Handlebars? Oh, well, they had to call it something.
Hahahaha the whiteness of the sunscreen sticks in Adam's facial hair SO badly lol!
They were probably like "eh, has a small crack, I guess broken will work!" It's funny though because quite a few had that look to them, but I guess this one stole the name broken first!
And another awesome video 👍
Great area to see, so glad I watch the channel
Thanks for always being so supportive William!
Hi Kathryn, what kind of tennis shoes are you wearing on these hikes? They look really comfortable and great for times when hiking boots would be overkill. I looked on your website but couldn't find them listed anywhere. Thanks! I'm in the market for a new pair and am having trouble deciding.
Hi! I normally wear my Lowa renegades, but I may have had my old Altra Superiors on. They are great! I used to wear them daily before getting AllBirds and sometimes still wear them when I am too lazy to wear my boots haha
As always love your videos. We will be staying in Moab for 5 days this summer, the information you provide in the video and comments will be very helpful. THANK YOU!!!
Yay! We’re so glad! Let us know if you have any questions 😄
thank you both for the video, seeing what you saw make me feel to try an visit it , in making the walk in those arches. my g/f / wife , try , what else your you going to do?, well in June i will try. but watching your video i feel already i was there,! thank you again.
We are glad to make you feel like you were there!
Year 2024 Double arch is now collapsed
That’s a different Double Arch in the Glen Canyon Recreation Area 😃
What National Park number was Arches for you guys on your way to hitting all of them? Love watching your Southern Utah videos!
It was 37! Thanks so much for watching!
We started to take a family trip to Arches in 2018, but it got derailed to The Grand Canyon. ;) Still on the to do list though! LOL @ Adam on stage! :):)
We really want to get back to the Grand Canyon and do the Rim to Rim hike someday! And Adam is taking preorders for his album 😜
First off Adam what a sweet guy you are! So chivalrous 🥰 just what a girl wants! You go!
And WOW what incredible scenery! 😯
He is the best! ❤️
Love you two. So funny and relaxed. Do you mind describe the lines at entrance? I am sure no line at 3 am but what about coming back from Moab after lunch?
Surprisingly not bad at all! I thinkkk we may have thrown in a quick clip coming back in (or maybe I left it out, I don't remember), but it took maybe 5 minutes max to get back in. HOWEVER, we passed by the park a few times during our two weeks in the area and it was full. We visited on a weekday, which I think helped a good amount! Sunrise and sunset times are definitely less busy in the park, so if you do leave, coming back late afternoon will probably be fine, like it was for us.
so fun there! When we visited 2 years ago and hiked to Delicate...it was all calm but as soon as we turned the corner and got on that narrow part right before the arch like 50 mph winds or something whipped up. It was crazy. Wind was just blasting us so we only got to "see" the arch for like 1 minute before we had to retreat. Kind of a bummer but it was amazing to see how big it is. Luckily we did Corona arch outside the park a different day so that made up for it. Did you get any good night skies while you were out there?
We 1000% believe the wind you experienced! Our entire time in the area was SO dang windy, which made filming so hard at times. We LOVED Corona Arch and that'll be in our final video from Utah! Unfortunately we were so dang tired every night that we never checked out the night skies in Utah (big regret!), but we have on previous visits to the area!
Arches is a special place. Got to visit for 2 days about 3 years ago. Did not have time to get out to Delicate Arch so that is one I have to see next visit. Thanks for sharing. Safe travels.
So glad we could bring you along! We hope you can check it out next time!
I took a short trip to Moab and Arches National Park in June 2019 that was bookended by work trips in Salt Lake City. The highlight was sunrise at the Windows. The entire park is just amazing! Great video to reminisce!
So glad we could take you back to your own trip!
You saw soooo much in one day! Beautiful video. PS My hubby still helps me along the trail, even after 37 years of marriage. He's the best. Safe travels.
It was a busy day! We managed to squeeze in a little break too, which was nice! And what a good husband ❤️ I know Adam will be the same 30 years from now!
You two are fantastic!! Your love for travel shows so well!! Love your enthusiasm!! Adam….well, ❤️❤️!! 😎🙏
Thanks so much Stephen!
You sure had a full day! It's amazing what you pack into 1 day! My "likes" at Arches are Park Avenue, Fiery Furnace and hiking/walking up the steep sandstone after Landscape Arch to get to Double O Arch. The last time we were in the area 2 years ago, we did a couple of jeep trails, one of them being the Shafer Trail - super fun! Can't wait to watch your next video!
We even had a 3-4 hour break too! Arches was nice because nothing was too long and it’s relatively compact! We wish we could’ve done the fiery furnace but it was closed 😫. The Devils Garden trail is amazing though! Renting Jeep’s sounds super fun!
I was really excited to finally reach your videos on Arches. I knew you would dive into this park and highlight everything it has to offer. This video did not disappoint. Awesome as always!
I have been trying like crazy to get the family out here for the past few years. Just hasn’t worked out. It is a beautiful park but I think my urgency is to get my family out here before something happens to one of the famous arches (Delicate or Landscape). I just see all that is happening lately: glaciers receding rapidly in Glacier, major wildfires in Lassen Volcanic and Sequoia this year, etc. I know it is not likely anytime soon but it is a thought that stays in the back of my mind. If all goes according to plan, we should be here towards the end of June 2022. Not the ideal time of year but we will make it work.
That’s a very valid concern! We feel that same urgency to get back to Glacier to see more of it before the glaciers disappear even more. It’s a great park and offers a lot to see and do, with most of it being pretty easy, which is great and let’s you see a lot in a short amount of time!
Thanks guys! Loving your videos. I’ll be in Arches on my trip in August. ❣️
Thanks David! Have a great trip!
Amazing video! I’m so happy I found it! We’ve been planning out our 2 days in Arches and this is very helpful, and you’ve inspired me to get up early to see Delicate Arch at sunrise 😊 I am struggling with what to wear at the end of September, being from Indiana it’s a little different out west. Any tips? Also, what time of day did you reenter the park? They make it seem like they have the gate shut down and turning cars away, but you guys had no issue.
It's soooo worth the early wakeup! And it's hard to say about weather, since it can vary a lot, but the temperatures are colder in the mornings and warmer in the afternoons, so pack layers for sure! And I think we re-entered around 4 PM or so and there was no line!
