    I and a friend visited Arches NP on Oct 5, 2024. This park is wonderful with many trails to hike and beautiful scenes to view and take picture. we began to hike to Delicate Arch at 5 pm. we are beginning hikers, but the hike up was doable. We made the major mistake of not bringing strong flash lights. We thought that our phone flash light would provide enough light. We stayed and enjoyed the sunset at Delicate Arch. It was 9 pm when we decided to hike back. It was totally dark by then, and the trail became invisible and much more dangerous. The phone light was weak and did not provide enough light further than 3 ft. We were lost and fumbling around. Fortunately, two wonderful hikers, Lexi and Nate from Salt Lake City, came to our rescue. They lent us a flash light and led us down to the parking lot. They even gave us the flash light as a present so that we could walk to our car. Thank you Lexi and Nate!

      Glad you made it out ok. I made that same mistake many years ago -- it is definitely easy to get lost in the dark on the slickrock!

    My first trip was today. Double arch was great but even the non-arch shots are incredible. One of the coolest places I've ever seen. It was 104 today!

    The easiest way to beat the crowds is get in the park early (before 6 AM at least). Sunrise is a great time to be in the park, parking will be easier, and photography will be easier. Go early, see the sights, leave for lunch, and come back around sundown if you can. It's what we did the first time we visited and it worked out pretty well. We literally had Double Arch to ourselves in the morning for about an hour before anyone else showed up.

      You can get a free national park pass if your son is permanently disabled, more info here: www.nps.gov/subjects/accessibility/interagency-access-pass.htm. You'll find information on my favorite wheelchair-friendly trails here (near the bottom of the article): www.dirtinmyshoes.com/the-best-easy-hikes-in-arches-national-park/

      Did that last year just outside Death Valley, in NV just east of Beatty and along the CO River in Black Canyon. Was fantastic

      Arches is more of a place where you stand beneath/scramble under the arches rather than climb on top. You'll see when you get there :)
