Video: Moab boondocking & Arches National Park

Moab is home to two of Utah's "Mighty 5" National Parks, and in this video we explore Arches National Park while camping for free by boondocking on state lands along Dalton Wells Road, a place with its own very unique history from World War II. We hike to both Delicate Arch and Landscape Arch, share the quirky story behind the mis-naming of both, visit Park Avenue and Balanced Rock, and check out both the Devil's Garden Campground within the park and the nearby Utah desert town of Moab:

    I wish some of those parks were in the Midwest! You are lucky to have so many parks out West. Wonderful videos!

    Great video! Thanks for posting it. Just wondering -- was that a snake track in the sand at 15:18??
