11. The Junior Ranger Program

If you are visiting any national park and have kids, this is simply a must-do activity. Upon arrival, stop in at the Arches National Park Visitor Center. Request a Junior Ranger Program book for your child.

This is said to be one of the best activities you can do with your kids here. This activity engages your children during the visit but they learn from experience. The Arches National Park Junior Ranger program book includes activities specific to this park.

Simply complete the various age-appropriate required activities during your visit. (For example, children are instructed to form specific arch shapes using their bodies while others guess which arch they are portraying.) Before you leave, return to the visitor center. Your kids recite the pro-environment pledge and are presented with an official Junior Ranger badge. As a former educator, your roving writer can confirm that this program is especially engaging to kinesthetic learners.

12. Extra Activity

If you’re looking for yet another activity, take the Park Avenue trek. It will take you to such large rock formations as Courthouse Towers and the Three Gossips.
