There is a decent amount of driving to get to most places, around 20-30 mins once you’re in the park. We were often in the park at around 8:00 a.m. I personally liked going early as it wasn’t as busy. I suggest getting there before 9 A.M, or choose to go later in the afternoon, after 3 or 4 p.m. Particularly if you are only in the area for a short amount of time. Also, the line can be ridiculous to get into the park, so it’s not worth wasting your kids energy or time sitting in line all day. Again, it’s the desert, so it can get really hot in the middle of the day. In terms of time a day, it’s best to visit early in the morning or later in the afternoon. If you’re going to do a lot of hiking with small children, I recommend you choose a season with more moderate temperatures. Summer in Utah can get pretty hot and winters are very cold. I visited in early April and the weather was perfect! Cool in the mornings, and warmer but cloudy the rest of the day. Overall, the most ideal time of year to visit Arches National Park is probably in the spring or fall. In some cases, trails travel under arches, affording quite a unique perspective on the park’s namesake features. Trails provide access to outstanding viewpoints and arches not visible from the road. This red-rock wonderland also contains a variety of hiking trails, many of which are considered easy to moderate. Bordered by the Colorado River in the southeast, it’s known as the site of more than 2,000 natural sandstone arches, in addition to hundreds of soaring pinnacles, massive fins and giant balanced rocks.
