This is the best way to see Arches National Park in one day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With so many things to do in Arches with kids, it is hard to know exactly the best approach to the park with limited time.   We have actually been to Arches National Park with the kids a couple of different times.  Each visit we cover a little more ground.

The park is most well known for the more than 2,000 unique natural occurring arches.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Soft red sandstone was left behind nearly 150 million years ago following the evaporation of the sea.   Since then, natural forces have been changing the landscape and wearing away the sandstone to create amazing rock formations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The concentration of natural sandstone arches in this park is greater than any other place in the world.  In addition,  you will be in awe of the sandstone fins, balanced rocks,  pinnacles and spires.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When Should I Visit Arches National Park? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Weather conditions and crowds can significantly influence the quality of your visit to the park.   Arches National Park has more than 1.5 million visitors per year.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind that this park is located in Utah\u2019s desert. Consequently, temperatures can go as high as 100 degrees during summer, thus making it quite uncomfortable.  Although if summer, when your kids are out of school , is your only option, don&#8217;t let it stop you, just be prepared. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also gets really cold during winter and the paths can be icy. On the other hand, the landscape is beautiful in the snow and you will have the park almost to yourself.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"347\" src=\"https:\/\/familytravelfever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Turret-Arch-in-Winter-Snow.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3843\" srcset=\"https:\/\/familytravelfever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Turret-Arch-in-Winter-Snow.jpeg 650w, https:\/\/familytravelfever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Turret-Arch-in-Winter-Snow-600x320.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/familytravelfever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Turret-Arch-in-Winter-Snow-300x160.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/familytravelfever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Turret-Arch-in-Winter-Snow-610x326.jpeg 610w, https:\/\/familytravelfever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Turret-Arch-in-Winter-Snow-480x256.jpeg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Our last visit was in late November after waking up to 4 inches of snow. For this reason, the middle of winter might not be an ideal time to visit the park but late fall is wonderful.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spring (April to May) and fall (September through October) are beautiful times to visit and the weather is very mild.  The temperature ranges from 60 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit.  This time would be ideal for tent camping.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will be dealing with crowds though because everyone wants to catch the best weather. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Our favorite time to visit is late fall in November when the days are still warm and the park is <g class=\"gr_ gr_20 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace\" id=\"20\" data-gr-id=\"20\">relati<\/g>vely <g class=\"gr_ gr_35 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace\" id=\"35\" data-gr-id=\"35\">qu<\/g>iet.

Arches is a fun kid-friendly destination with stunning scenery, educational visitor center, short hikes and plenty of sand to play in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whereas this is great, you might find it hard to decide what exactly you would like to do at the park within a day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, you need an excellent kid-friendly itinerary for your visit to Arches National Park.  After <g class=\"gr_ gr_160 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace\" id=\"160\" data-gr-id=\"160\">multiple<\/g> visits with baby, toddler, kids and even while I was 7 months pregnant, I have come up with the best things to do in one day in arches national park.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.

I would suggest that you plan to visit Delicate Arch in the morning as it is usually less crowded compared to in the evening during sunset. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Note: Since the visitor center opens at 9 AM you will have to pass by and head to the trailhead. Alternatively, you might have camped in the park and get a jump on the day. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Delicate Arch, which measures 46 feet in height and 32 feet in width, is one of the most popular hiking activities at this park. This geological feature is widely recognized as one of Utah\u2019s identifying symbol. Your kids will likely recognize it from the Utah license plates.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, the trail leading to the Delicate Arch is about 3 miles. Our small children and pregnant mama could not make this hike.  So instead, the older kids hiked to the Upper Viewpoint and I walked to the Lower Viewpoint.   Sunrise or sunset is still beautiful from this view. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I would advise that you enjoy viewing Delicate Arch from the Upper Viewpoint, which is only 0.5 miles or the Lower Viewpoint which is a very short walk from the parking lot.  These viewpoints are less busy, so sunset may be a better option for families with small children. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"649\" height=\"434\" src=\"https:\/\/familytravelfever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Pregnant-Shauna-at-Delicate-Arch-Lower-Viewpoint-small.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3842\" srcset=\"https:\/\/familytravelfever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Pregnant-Shauna-at-Delicate-Arch-Lower-Viewpoint-small.jpeg 649w, https:\/\/familytravelfever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Pregnant-Shauna-at-Delicate-Arch-Lower-Viewpoint-small-600x401.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/familytravelfever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Pregnant-Shauna-at-Delicate-Arch-Lower-Viewpoint-small-300x201.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/familytravelfever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Pregnant-Shauna-at-Delicate-Arch-Lower-Viewpoint-small-610x408.jpeg 610w, https:\/\/familytravelfever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Pregnant-Shauna-at-Delicate-Arch-Lower-Viewpoint-small-480x321.jpeg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 649px) 100vw, 649px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Pro tip:  If you have a 4X4 you can drive a short distance on the dirt road from the parking lot and get an even better view of Delicate Arch without leaving the car.<\/em>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While you are at the trailhead for Delicate Arch, don&#8217;t forget to stop and see Wolf Ranch and Ute Petroglyphs. For history buffs or for kids who have not seen ancient rock art, I highly recommend this short hike.&nbsp; You can see an original 1800&#8217;s homestead cabin and corrals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just a bit further are the well preserved Ute petroglyphs.  These are different than many other more ancient petroglyphs in the Moab area. The modern style includes scenes of horse and rider surrounded by bighorn sheep and dogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.

Arches National Park Visitor Center is no exception. The inside of the building has an enormous window wall with a view of the red sandstone rock face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The displays are all educational and interactive. The kids enjoy learning about the hydrologic system, geology, and history with the interactive d<g class=\"gr_ gr_16 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace\" id=\"16\" data-gr-id=\"16\">isplays<\/g>.

Have your kids watch out the window for the balances rock to appear.  You will see it from the road as your drive towards the parking lot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Balanced Rock trail is flat and makes for a perfect short 0.3-mile hike for small children. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This geological wonder stands at 128 feet tall and appears to defy gravity.  The intriguing part about the Balanced Rock is that its upper part seems to be balancing on a narrow spire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are fears that one day, this eye-catching feature might not be there anymore.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another reason why I recommended Balanced Rock as your next stop is because across it there is a picnic area with many picnic tables. By this time of the day, your kids might be feeling a bit hungry. They could, therefore, have something to eat as they catch a breath. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please note that there are no restaurants or water within the park. For this reason, I advise that you carry enough food and drinks to last you for that day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.

Along the way stop at some of the must-see overlooks to get a great view of the different features of the park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of our favorite pullouts and overlooks are Panorama Viewpoint, Salt Valley and Fiery Furnace.  Fortunately, these are all on the way to your next stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fiery Furnace is an area of fins and spires that requires a permit to hike in.  The view is spectacular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your drive will take you to Sand Dune Arch, just before the campground.  Here you can decide if you would like to stop and eat lunch at a picnic area or if you would like to move along to Sand Dune Arch.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The picnic area is in the campground just ahead.

You have to walk through a narrow fin to get there, giving it a very secret feel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be aware that it tends to get overshadowed due to the narrow path leading to the sand dune arch. You will enjoy the cool refreshing location in the heat of the day.  When we visited, on a snowy day though it was cold and we were adding clothing layers.  Of course, this did not stop the kids from playing in the soft sand though. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Your kids will especially enjoy this part of the park as they can play in the sand. I recommend carrying a few light toys for your kids to play with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Picnic at Devil&#8217;s Garden Campground<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you get hungry for lunch, whether before or after Sand Dune Arch, its time to stop and eat.  Given you are now 45 minutes from the entrance of the park and the closest restaurants are in Moab, a picnic lunch is your only option.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A picnic area is located among Slickrock outcroppings at the Devils Garden campground.  Picnic tables are available or there is space to spread a blanket and sit on the ground.  We found plenty of tables available in November and we&#8217;re happy to take a sunny location. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In summer the campground has water to refill your water bottles before heading off on more adventures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8.

One on either side of the road. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Double Arch is an amazing geological formation of two arches joined by one pillar.  The trail is level and short, less than 1\/2 mile round trip.  The kids love the walk there and climbing inside the arches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Climbing on the sandstone and going <g class=\"gr_ gr_5 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace\" id=\"5\" data-gr-id=\"5\"><g class=\"gr_ gr_5 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace\" id=\"5\" data-gr-id=\"5\">off-trail<\/g><\/g> are generally forbidden at Arches National Park.  A rule my kids, especially the boys, had a hard time following.  So they were happy to climb inside the huge opening between the two arches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Climbing on the slick rock can be difficult and climbing down even more challenging.  We did get pictures under the arch but I was quite nervous because the other side drops right off.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I advise you to use your best judgment, especially with small children, and only go as far as you feel safe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9.

One place to enjoy this serene view is at The Windows and luckily you are already in the right spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The trailhead is across from the Double Arches.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We enjoyed visiting this spot as it does not have as many people at sunset as compared to other places such as the Delicate Arch.&nbsp; Plus you are closer to the park exit once the sun goes down and everyone is tired. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This trail includes North and South Windows and the Turret Arch.  The hike is short but has some steps to navigate. The kids think its funny how the North and South Windows look like a pair of glasses and a nose.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Note:  If you did not make it to Delicate Arch in the morning, you could visit the Lower Viewpoint at sunset.  You will be ending your day at #1 and skipping #9 The Windows. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ending Your One Day at Arches National Park. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In conclusion, I have tried to give you an idea of the best way to see Arches <g class=\"gr_ gr_89 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace\" id=\"89\" data-gr-id=\"89\">National<\/g> Park <g class=\"gr_ gr_100 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear Grammar replaceWithoutSep\" id=\"100\" data-gr-id=\"100\">in<\/g> one day. Arguably, the most exciting thing about this park is that it provides you with many out-of-the-ordinary experiences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where else can you enjoy a scenic drive while overlooking some of the red-stone wonderlands that make part of the 2,000 plus natural arches within the park?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of the day, everyone will be so tired.  Depending on the time of year, you may have already had a picnic dinner or will be heading out for dinner.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are camping in or near Arches National Park &#8211; its time to head back to camp.  If you are staying in town you may be going back to your rental for dinner or going out to eat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will need a place to stay for the night.  Camping is available in and near Arches National Park.
