Arches and Sand Flats

Colorado River and Moab South

A scenic, quieter base for river days, Potash Road, and a slower resort rhythm. It trades quick Main Street access for red-wall surroundings.

Best for: Couples, river travelers, and longer stays

Nearby: Corona Arch Trail, Colorado River Half-Day Float, Potash Road Petroglyphs and Scenic Byway

Guided Voyager updates destination guidance regularly, but hours, weather, access, and reservations should be checked close to departure.

Before you go

Use the live details that matter

  • Give Arches and Canyonlands separate days. The drive and the scale of each park make a combined quick stop feel rushed.
  • Start exposed hikes before sunrise in warm months, then use a museum, river float, or long lunch in the heat.

Confirm current access, hours, reservations, and conditions with Official Delicate Arch Trail information.
