Arches National Park is one of the most popular national parks in Utah. More than 1.5 million people visit this park every single year and for good reason — this is an outdoor lover’s paradise. With natural arches and unique landscapes, this is a park that is bucket list worthy. But there is another reason to visit Arches National Park — for its hiking trails. With so many trails to explore, you need a good base camp. This charming Moab cabin is located just a short drive from the entrance of Arches National Park and is considered one of the best cabins in Utah to spend the night. It’s the perfect place to relax and recoup before your next-day hiking adventure.
Located right in the heart of downtown Moab, this charming cabin is the perfect place for you and your hiking companion to stay the night. From its prime location and beautiful exterior to its cozy living spaces, it’s delightful in every single way.
While this Moab cabin is cozy in so many ways, you won’t want to spend all of your time here. Rather, you’ll want to lace up your hiking boots and explore some of the many hiking trails in Arches National Park.
This is a partly paved loop trail that is only 0.3 miles. This hike takes you around Balanced Rock’s base and offers up-close views of this remarkable rock formation. This trail is perfect for the entire family and can be completed in less than 30 minutes.

If you are looking for a trail that is a little longer, yet also quite easy, consider the Park Avenue Trail.
This 1.8-mile trail takes you to an incredible viewpoint and you won’t want to forget a camera. The rock formations are certainly impressive and this is one trail where you'll feel small but mighty.
If you love to hike and are up for a longer adventure, you must tackle Delicate Arch Trail. This is the most famous natural arch in Utah and a hike that is bucket list worthy.
This trail is 3 miles and has some tricky areas including open slickrock and steady climbs. Make sure you bring plenty of water as there is little shade along the way.
One of my personal favorites is the Jewell Tibbets Arch Trail, located just outside of Arches National Park. This is a trail where you can escape the crowds found in the national park, yet still enjoy the beauty of a natural arch.
This is a 2-mile loop trail with gorgeous canyon views, a natural arch, slickrock, and more. It’s another trail in Utah you will want to bring plenty of water and come fully prepared for time in the sun.
