yccui:“When I drove a RV fleet around the western United States in 2016, I didn't include Arches National Park in the trip because the RVs were relatively slow and the mileage was long. This year, I added Arches National Park to the trip to the seven natural attractions in the western United States, as well as Monument Canyon, which I will visit tomorrow.
Arches National Park is located near Moab, Utah, USA. It covers an area of 309 square kilometers and preserves more than 2,000 natural rock arches, including the world-famous Delicate Arch. The highest point in the park is Elephant Peak, which is 1,753 meters above sea level.”

Today was quite exciting. In the 38-degree temperature, 15 members, nearly one-third of the more than 40 members, hiked more than three miles, nearly five kilometers, in Arches National Park, challenging themselves and climbing to the top to check in at Delicate Arch.
Delicate Arch
As the symbol of Arches National Park, Delicate Arch is the prototype of Utah's license plate pattern and one of the most famous natural arches in the world. Its isolated red sandstone shape is particularly spectacular at sunset. The hike is about 3 miles round trip (1.5-2 hours), and you can enjoy the plateau and snow-capped mountains along the way. ”
SUKI LIAO:“The park has a very funny name, "Dead Horse Point, Funny", but you have to take a look just for the name. The park is not far from Arches National Park and is also a place to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the canyon. It is a bit similar to Horseshoe Bay and is also a good place to take pictures of sunrise and sunset.”

_yao_yao_:“Double Arch is also one of the scenic spots in Arches National Park. As the name suggests, the two arches look like a super-large eye from a certain angle. The scenery is very beautiful and shocking, and it is really worth a special trip to check in. We happened to go there in the evening and watched the sunset. The light before sunset was so beautiful that the golden sunset hit the sandstone and dyed it blood red.”
Konan Tien:“I have two hotel confirmation #, but the front desk only let me check in for one room, and said that the other booking has been cancelled over one month ago. But I did not do any cancellation nor received any cancel notice from trip. com.”
EN the traveller:“Decent hotel - however the hottub was not working when we visited. Location is pretty good tho! Overall, the place is pretty good value for money considering the location (right on the main street) and price.”
SmithAlastair:“The check in was appalling. The receptionist must’ve taken classes in ‘couldn’t care’. Shame we interrupted whatever it was that was more important than providing a civil welcome to a couple of guests.
In contrast the breakfast and room cleaning staff were on a different level - brilliant service and friendly.
Sadly it’s the first impression that lasts - and being made to feel as though you’re a total inconvenience when you arrive is utterly crap.”
Guest User:“Wow what a GREAT stay we had. The rooms were superb. The beds and night sleep were even BETTER!! We will definitely be staying at The Element again. I have told everyone about our trip and this was the best place we got to stay. Also we didn't eat breakfast there but wished we had after we saw what a nice selectiong they had. Beautiful pool area and lounge too. ”
banjjak:“It was the best value-for-money hotel. The room was spacious, well-maintained, and the breakfast, though simple, was great. It was such a good hotel that I’d love to visit again in the summer.”
