We had one day to spend at Arches National Park and wanted to stay at an accommodation that was both close to the park and also pet-friendly. Since Arches National park has limited activities for pets, we wanted to book a spacious room for Kuma where she felt like she was at home.
We did a 12-day road trip with Kuma from California to Florida in early September and had an absolute blast exploring more of America.
We absolutely love Utah and are on a mission to visit all of Utah's Mighty 5 National Parks. We’ve explored Zion National Park and Capitol Reef National Park and Arches was next on our list. Explore this beautiful national park in one day!
Red Sands Hotel & Spa is a lovely up-to-date accommodation that is within minutes from Capitol Reef National Park. The hotel offers an array of services and elegant amenities for a very reasonable rate and it’s also pet-friendly. It’s the perfect location if you are visiting the Capitol Reef area.
Capitol Reef National Park is often overshadowed by Utah’s more popular parks like Arches, Zion, and Bryce Canyon National Park which is such a shame because Capitol Reef offers amazing landscapes, rock formations, and hiking trails.
You must do this fun weekend road trip with your friends! We flew into Las Vegas, then drove to Zion National Park, Lower Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend and some other fun scenic spots.
Zion National Park is only a 2.5 hour drive from Las Vegas and since we were spending an extended weekend in sin city, we decided to add in some nature hikes to our girls’ weekend getaway. The Narrows was the perfect hike for all of us!
We were in Torrey visiting Capitol Reef National Park and Goblin Valley State Park was on the way to Arches National Park, which happened to be our next destination on our cross-country road trip through the US.
