2Hike to Mesa Arch
Travel to Moab. For it is here that you can hike to the famous Mesa Arch in Canyonlands National Park. This loop hike is approximately one mile (depending on the source).
It is obviously an easy hike with an elevation gain of 164 feet. Plan on this being a one-hour adventure adding in some time to stop and admire the historic arch. You should be able to go see a few things in Arches National Park on the same day if you wish. In fact, if you plan ahead, you can get a campsite in Devil’s Garden, and you can set up a base there for a relaxing weekend-long vacation.
3Hike to the Golden Cathedral
Head to Garfield County and the Egypt Trailhead. For it is here that your trek to the Golden Cathedral deep in the Grand Staircase – Escalante National Monument begins. It is a moderately difficult out-and-back hike with a distance of 9.27 miles and an elevation gain of 1398 feet.
Note that you can either head right for the canyon’s mouth or hike down Fence Canyon and camp out at the Escalante River. Either way, once you reach Neon Canyon, it’s just a short hike to the Golden Cathedral. It should take you well under one hour. Dogs are permitted here but they must be on a leash at all times.
