There are lots of great outdoor attractions to see when you book an RV in Grand County, Utah, but the first one you’ll want to check off your list is Arches National Park, famed for the thousands of natural sandstone arches that were carved through the forces of wind and water over millions of years. The park is quite small, with all those arches packed into a minuscule area. As such, this is a park you can easily see in a day. There’s only one main road through it, and it’s less than 40 miles round trip. Most of the photogenic arches are right next to the highway and can be reached with a few minutes of hiking. For a more adventurous park, head to Canyonlands, which is actually split into four separate districts: Islands in the Sky, Needles, the Maze, and the Rivers. They’re accessed by different turnoffs on Highway 191, so it pays to know what you’re looking for before setting off. Islands in the Sky is the closest and most accessible section of the park and consists of some truly spectacular cliffs that sit a thousand feet above the Colorado River. Hikes to the various viewpoints and arches are relatively easy and suitable for most fitness levels. The other regions of Canyonlands are wilder and require more backcountry skills and preparation to have a safe experience. If you’re looking for something a little more low-key, like a place to take the kids for an afternoon family picnic, there’s Rotary Park on the south side of town. This large green space has playground equipment, a basketball court, and plenty of grassy areas for the little ones to run around.
