Arches National Park features over 2,000 gigantic, stunning sandstone arches. Over 1.6 million travelers visit annually. Mind you, humans have frequented this place for the past 10,000 years, as indicated by artifacts and petroglyphs discovered in this area. Here you will find campsites, hiking trails, and many geological wonders. You can go horseback riding, and do some stargazing too. If you’re interested in any of the ranger-led programs, the best time to visit is from spring through fall.
Travel to the Arizona–Utah state line. For it is here that you will find this unique landmark nestled in the Navajo Tribal Nation. Monument Valley comes complete with iconic buttes and orange-red desert scenery.
Undoubtedly, you may have seen the landscape in movies, music videos, TV shows, and video games. While the views from the visitor center are certainly superb, the park is even more memorable up close. So while you can drive through the valley, your best bet is to get a Navajo tour guide. They’ve lived there since 1,400 AD.
