“This is the best way to see the majority of Arches National Park especially if you are short on time or the park is really busy, which it seems to be most of the time. David, our guide knew where to go to avoid as much of the crowds as possible. He was very knowledgeable and we came away with a wealth of information that we would not have had. Not worrying about parking was also great.”
