FOR KIDS


Moab first graders begin a field trip down Park Avenue in Arches. (NPS Photo by Neal Herbert) Arches is a great family park. The rock formations delight kids as well as adults, and hiking trails provide many opportunities for children to get out of the car and explore the arches up close. Kids also enjoy the short interpretive talks and walks offered spring through fall. Stop at the visitor center to check current schedules, and take some time to view the exhibits and perhaps the park's orientation video. Preparing a report on Arches?
