This is one of the best National Parks in the West! The views are equal to the Grand Canyon and just as varied. Our travel time was short, but a Ranger helped us find a campsite close to a bathroo… Full review by Dane H

The views were absolutely stunning and the drive to the park was just as incredible. We were on a road trip with our two grandsons, ages 9 and 7, and who loved it just as much as we did. Spent the ni… Full review by merryrott77

It’s beautiful! We went around sunset and it was the most gorgeous views. Breathtaking scenery! We love taking our family to Moab! Full review by Kellie H
My husband and I would like to take our sons to Canyonlands. HOwever, we have a 9 year old with ASD who sometimes likes to run off. Therefore, we removed Bryce and Grand Canyon from our list. Can anyone tell us of any hiking trails in Canyonlands without drop off's where if he ran he would not get hurt?
A:
I would not take him there. Hike in town. Take the family to the, Land of the Giants.
Knowing how crowded it can be, what are the chances of getting a good photo of sunrise at Mesa Arch, even if you get there early? Wouldn't somebody always be in your picture?
A:
We had no one in any of our pictures- and we took many of them. People we genuinely helpful and accommodating - especially if asked. Get there about 45 min before sunrise …

How are the Utah national parks in the winter? We're planning a visit in mid- to late- February and hope the snow won't be a problem. Any advice?

Cedar Breaks National Monument and the North Rim of the Grand Canyon are closed for the season due to snow accumaulation at their higher altitudes. Bryce Canyon's …
Cedar Breaks National Monument and the North Rim of the Grand Canyon are closed for the season due to snow accumaulation at their higher altitudes. Bryce Canyon's rim also ranges from 8-9000 feet on the Pahsunguint Plateau, but the visitor center remains open year round. The scenic drive and other roads and trails within the park can close at any time during the winter/spring season due to weather conditions, so check the park website. Canyonlands, Arches, Capitol Reef, Grand Staircase-Escalante, Vermillion Cliffs and Glen Canyon NRA remain open year round, although some facilities and trails may be cl osed. Again, check each park's website for current information. Overall, you shouldn't have much of a problem because Utah's canyon country gets a lot less snow than you do in Golden. Remember the blizzard of '83 or the series of spring snowstorms in 2007? I do, and that is why I no longer live in the front range.
Hotels are so expensive in Moab ($200+ per night)... is Monticello a good alternative to stay for .2 nights? We plan to do both Arches and CanyonlandscNational Park during Spring of 2019.
A:
Am trying to book through Hotelscom... was quoted $650 for 3 nights in April (Ouch!).... will definitely check out Blanding hotels for plan B. Thanks for the tour recommendation too!
