Exploring Outside the 303
A scenic vista in Arches National Park, featuring towering sandstone rock formations in shades of orange and red against a cloudy sky. The rugged landscape is dotted with scrubby vegetation and trails winding through the arid terrain. In the foreground, a child wearing a vibrant pink hooded jacket walks along a stone pathway, their small frame dwarfed by the massive rock structures surrounding them. Further back, another figure can be seen hiking on a trail, adding a sense of scale to the imposing natural wonders.

Wonderful views of the arches.⁠ 🏞️ Park Avenue Trail - 1.8 mile out and back hike with killer views of the Courthouse Rocks and running water after it rains⁠ 🏞️ Delicate Arch Viewing Area - for those that prefer an overlook, this hike is 0.7 mile hike to see the iconic arch ⁠ ⁠ This park has a lot to offer all skill levels in hiking and if you are lucky enough to see the colors shine after the rain, it is even more spectacular. ⁠ ⁠ ❓What's your favorite hike in Arches, if you have been?⁠ ⁠ @exploringoutsidethe303⁠ @exploringoutsidethe303⁠ @exploringoutsidethe303⁠ ⁠
