Arches and Canyonlands

Desert red rock and the Colorado River provide a uniquely dramatic setting allowing us an opportunity to step back in time to a land of sandstone wilderness. This hiking and walking trip is one of our most remote getaways.

Our first three nights we lodge at the glorious Sunflower Hill Inn in Moab, whose luxurious comforts have earned it the top rated hotel award in Moab for eight years running! Day one we explore nearby Dead Horse Point State Park. Walking atop a gigantic mesa, we are surrounded by an immense sea of canyons, labyrinths and mazes. What lies before us is a dynamic overview of Canyonlands National Park, a geologists’ paradise. Two thousand feet below us lies the Colorado River, the fifth longest river in the United States.

The next day we visit Arches National Park, often called “the most beautiful place on earth.” Trails weave through a wonderland of standing desert rocks with far-reaching vistas. We’ll also visit eight famous arches,including Landscape Arch, the longest in the world.

Day three we transfer locations from Moab to Bluff, stopping along the way to enjoy a spectacular hike in Natural Bridges National Monument. The town of Bluff still has an original pioneer fort dating back to 1800 when the first settlers arrived. Our home here is the Desert Rose Inn with its massive timbers and western charm. Hikes nearby lead to remote pictographs (rock paintings), petroglyphs (rock carvings) and ruins from the time of the Anasazi Indians.
