Time to plan a fall desert adventure to Moab! 🌵Arches National Park, is renowned for its stunning natural sandstone arches, with over 2,000. Arches National Park include its formation history and unique geological features. The park’s famous Delicate Arch is perhaps the most iconic, often featured in photographs and even on Utah’s license plates. The park was established in 1929 and covers over 76,000 acres. It’s home to a variety of wildlife, including bighorn sheep, mule deer, and numerous bird species. Additionally, the park offers breathtaking stargazing opportunities due to its remote location and lack of light pollution, making it a designated International Dark Sky Park. 🎟️ From April 1 to October 31, a timed entry permit is required. Permits can be reserved online, and it’s advisable to secure one well in advance, especially during peak seasons. The best times to visit Arches National Park are during the spring (March to May) and fall (September to November) months. During these periods, the weather is generally mild, making outdoor activities more enjoyable. Summer can be extremely hot, with temperatures often exceeding 100°F, while winter, although less crowded, can bring chilly conditions and occasional snow, making some areas less accessible.

A grueling but epic backpacking trip through the Yosemite High country. Half dome permits are pretty hard to come by in the summer but if you’re willing to backpack there’s more than one way to get access to this hike. Several high country trails also come with the option to add half dome permits which is just what I did. I outline all the details in my new video out on YouTube but here’s a few clips and snaps from the adventure. #california #backpacking #yosemite

Have you ever cleaned your tent? Or do you always just crawl into it and realize it’s full of dust and dirt from your last trip?? Cleaning it is easier than you might think and adding some rain or sun protection every year is great for it too. #cleanyourtent #tents #camping #backpacking #backpack #hiking #outdoors
