Arches National Park: Delicate Arch Trail

This is a 3 mile roundtrip hike to one of Utah's most known arches; the Delicate Arch.
I highly recommend this hike during the off season because it's usually a heavily trafficked trail. Additionally, there isn't much shade or protection from what would normally be a very hot hike to the top of the hill where the arch is.

Additional Tip: follow advice to wear spikes when there is snow or ice. The very last part of the trail has drop offs and we even saw skid marks of someone sliding off the trail earlier that morning!

Zion National Park: Angel's Landing

This is a strenuous 5 mile roundtrip hike with sheer drop offs. I do not recommend this hike for anyone with a fear of heights. Honestly, I am still a little surprised I did the hike in the snow...thankfully we rented some great yak spikes that made the hike doable. 

If you are up to this challenging hike, it is extremely memorable and beautiful. We even saw a condor soaring at the peak.
