Arches National Park tours & holidays

Arches National Park is just outside the city of Moab in southeastern Utah, the United States.

Arches NP is spectacular all year round, however, all of our trips run in the summer between May and September. Summer sees hot days, mild nights and plenty of daylight, which is great for exploring all the park has to offer. May and September offer a good balance of warm, sunny weather and smaller crowds.

Arches NP is located on the Colorado Plateau in a high desert region, so the weather varies significantly throughout the year. Spring and autumn see the mildest weather with average highs of 16-27ºC, while summertime highs often top a sweltering 38ºC. Thunderstorms are also common on hot days. Winters are cold with average highs of 5-9ºC, and lows of -8ºC. While it does snow (mostly in December and January), heavy snowfall is rare.

At a minimum, you'll need a sturdy pair of well-fitting hiking boots, a mixture of lightweight and warm layers (think shorts/leggings, t-shirts, a hoodie and warm pants), a water bottle or bladder, and a camera. We also recommend bringing a windproof jacket, a hat and sunscreen.

Before embarking on an active outdoor adventure, make sure to read the Essential Trip Information section of your itinerary for a better idea of what's provided and what you'll need to bring.
