Explore the Moab Sand Dunes

Moab, Utah

Description

This is a good place to stop and stretch your legs and just have some fun. Hike up the dunes and enjoy it!

If you are headed south the parking lot is just past the Arches National Park Visitor Center and it is on the right. Park here and have fun hiking up the dunes. It is really steep so it might take a while to get to the top. Once you do you can enjoy the view and take some pictures. After you finish you can race down or see how far you can jump. I might suggest bringing a sled to slide down. Overall this is just a fun thing to do on the side of the road for a few minutes so enjoy it!

Corona Arch Trail

This is an easy 2.3-mile hike to an amazing arch in Moab that ISN'T in Arches National Park. If you have every seen any “arch swing” videos this is where its done! Hangout under this massive arch without much of a crowd. This should only take a couple of hours round trip depending on hiking speed. The arch offers just about the only shade you will find on the hike, although you will have to mov...

Night Photography at Corona Arch

First and foremost: Don't attempt to climb the arch at night. It's potentially unsafe and the BLM has banned roped activities meaning that you would have to go ropeless. Save this activity for the daytime or avoid it altogether. This is a quick 1.5 mile one-way hike to the arch. The trail is well-marked, easy to follow, and only gains 440 feet. Although it's an easy trail to this scenic view, i...
