Tips from the community
In Moab you get two for one: The Arches and the Canyonlands. This second part of the great Utah southeast is a true majesty of a reserve. It’s split into a few sectors all bisected by the snaking Colorado and Green rivers. The iconic area known as the Island in the Sky is best for sweeping views of the stunning White Rim ridge that stands more than 1,200 feet up. Beyond that are the pinnacles of The Needles area, followed by the inaccessible mesas and cliffs of The Maze.

Much less crowded than the Grand Canyon but still spectacular views and more kid-friendly hikes available. We only had time for two: Mesa Arch (about 0.6 mile roundtrip) and Whale Rock (about 1 mile roundtrip). Awesome!

Needles section - hiking, camping, birding. Unique and remote.

seeker (Seeker Editors) The US boasts an impressive 63 national parks, each with its own distinct character, awe inspiring views and countless ways to connect with nature. The parks are managed by the National Park Service which offers an annual pass for access to all 63 parks throughout the year for one flat price. Let's explore.unique boondocking spots with views
leah (Leah Fishman) As most road trippers/Vanlifers/RVers know, not every boondocking spot is created equal. Forget truck stops and Walmart: these are some of the most scenic spots to sleep, for free (!), surrounded by beaches, canyons, lakes, and trees.National Parks I've Been To
