Spent our day falling headfirst into the Colorado River (multiple times),dropping our GoPro into the water and finding a less-traveled road, Arches National Park doesn’t disappoint.
We spent our time at Yellowstone watching the hydrothermal features, watching the variety of animals and doing family-friendly hikes.
