Traversing two national parks -- ArchesNPS & CanyonlandsNPS -- in one day with a backcountry tour in Utah. NatlParkService
At the end of a journey through the Southwest, I found myself with one free day in Moab, Utah. What to do? Laze by the hotel pool? Binge-watch TV in my air-conditioned room? Both options seemed silly with not one, but two of Utah's"Mighty Five" U.S. national parks practically on my doorstep. NAVTEC Expeditions provided the solution with its Arches and Canyonlands 4x4 tour.

Standing 128-feet-tall, the boulder is attached rather than balanced on its pedestal. Still, Father Time will eventually do its work as it did when a nearby formation, Chip-Off-the-Old-Block, collapsed nearly 50 years ago.
Hikers follow a trail past Utah's Park Avenue, a canyon with sheer walls some say resemble a big-city skyline. - Courtesy of Katherine Rodeghier Between the parks We left Arches on Utah Route 279, pulling over to peer at prehistoric rock art on a red-rock wall. We made out the shapes of animals, humans and abstract designs in pictographs and petroglyphs.
On to Canyonlands Our backcountry entrance to Canyonlands was a simple wooden sign:"Entering Canyonlands National Park." No lines; nobody else in sight. NAVTEC's 4x4 vehicles often leave marked roads on backcountry tours. - Courtesy of Katherine Rodeghier My legs still shook when we got out at Musselman Arch. From our parking spot it appeared to be more a flat bridge than an arch. But walking closer I could see the span ran atop a seemingly bottomless abyss. Visitors once crossed the arch on foot, but after some unfortunate incidents, the national park no longer allows it.
