Utah National Parks Part 2

 

Welcome to the Travel Gluten Free Podcast, where you, my friend, listen in on how to lead a gluten-free lifestyle with more fun and ease!

 

My friend, in the last episode I gave you the 411 on how to travel in Utah National Parks, how to travel Utah, what to bring and what you and your family can do in a national park. Even though I packed a bunch of information into the last episode, these next two episodes are going to focus specifically on Utah Parks. If you haven't visited a national park, check out my last episode and visit nps.gov to find a park you'll love!

 

This episode I'll chat about Arches and Canyonlands, two northern Utah parks and I'll take you on a journey of both of these national parks, and why I love each of them. I'll give you stories, recommendations, how to travel in Utah parks, and what to bring and when to go!

 

Remember to always bring the following to a Utah National Park:

• sunscreen
• lip balm
• sunglasses
• water bladders and backpacks for each person on your trip
• snacks and lunch
• good running / hiking shoes
• hat
• paper map (cell phones do not work in most areas of national parks in Utah or in southern Utah in general!

Arches

Moab, UT

Visit Arches to discover a landscape of contrasting colors, land forms and textures unlike any other in the world. The park has over 2,000 natural stone arches, in addition to hundreds of soaring pinnacles, massive fins and giant balanced rocks. This red-rock wonderland will amaze you with its formations, refresh you with its trails, and inspire you with its sunsets.

Canyonlands

Moab, UT

Canyonlands invites you to explore a wilderness of countless canyons and fantastically formed buttes carved by the Colorado River and its tributaries. Rivers divide the park into four districts: Island in the Sky, The Needles, The Maze, and the rivers themselves. These areas share a primitive desert atmosphere, but each offers different opportunities for sightseeing and adventure.
