55. The Sand Dune Arch
If you are visiting the park and looking for a hike that would be good with kids then look no further. Veteran visitors say this is one of the best hikes to take. This is an easy 0.3-mile return hike.
Within 20 minutes you will reach the Sand Dune Arch. Furthermore, this particular trail takes you between some narrow walls of sedimentary rock. It also has a huge sandy floor also known as “the sandpit” for your kids.
The kids can leap from the small edges of the pit and play in the sand. Not too far from this sandpit, you will be able to spot the sand dunes ensconced in the fins. It actually sheds a lot of light on exactly how the arches here are created in the center of the fins.
(While your more energetic kids play, you can catch your breath there.) On the other hand, if you are more energetic, there is another option. There is another trail that breaks off from the Sand Dune Arch.
This 1.3-mile return trail will lead you to Broken Arch. It is reported to be an easy hike that will take you across flat, open grassland. In fact, these two arches are so close you can actually see Broken Arch from the entrance to the Sand Dune Arch.

Hi!
Thanks for the comment and thanks for reading my stuff!
Great photos. Arches for me is up there with Yosemite and Grand Canyon NP. There are so many cool rock formations. and places to explore. Also the surrounding area has a lot to see and do with Moab, Dead Horse State park, and Canyonlands.
Hello!
Yes, I agree! I have been to those places more than once. In fact, if you’re a regular reader I’ve written about hiking the entire grand Canyon more than once with my father and a small, select group of Scouts. I doubt I could do it today and am glad I was a teenager when i did it lol Thanks for your comment and for reading too!
I hiking Havasupai the Grand Canyon 25 years ago why am at Moony Falls. It was a Blast! Remembering when, I also hiked Death Valley for 2 weeks about and walked through Dead Horse Canyon and Catalina Island. God had made some amazing places for us to enjoy.
Hi!
Yes, I did much of my hiking when I was younger and did not totally appreciate what I saw but now I look back and realize each trail we complete is a trail that so many others will never even see.
Thanks for the comment!
The next time I read a blog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as much as this one. I mean, I know it was my choice to read, but I actually thought youd have something interesting to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you could fix if you werent too busy looking for attention.
I got what you intend,bookmarked, very nice internet site.
Hi!
I agree. I think the owners have set up this site very nicely. They experiment with other looks from time to time but I agree. I think it has a great look to it.
Thanks for your thoughts.
How do I find out more?
