That collection of arches and almost-arches is the Cove of Caves.Duration: 10 minutesStop At: Sand Dune Arch TrailUtahWe'll pass Panorama Point — keep this in mind if you plan to return at dark for stargazing.

As we continue our drive, we'll learn about how to stargaze like the Paiute.Duration: 10 minutesStop At: Monitor and Merriamac Rock FormationsNow we're at THE most famous spot in Arches: Delicate Arch. A quick hike brings us right up to this gorgeous - and improbable - formation. Duration: Not AvailableStop At: Dead Horse Point State ParkSr 313, , Moab, UtahThis is one of the park’s quieter attractions.

Our tour through the mythology and geology of this epic land is now over. Duration: 10 minutesStop At: Mesa ArchUtahLook to the right. All you can see at the moment are tall rock walls.

Pause for a quick look at some stunning scenery. The enormous mesa looks like it was plonked down here by accident, and then forgotten.Duration: Not AvailableStop At: Aztec Butte TrailIsland in the Sky, , UtahIn such a beautiful landscape, you can’t escape the lure of exploring off the beaten path. But watch out! If you do go off the path, you might be trampling on soil that’s alive. You might think I’m joking, but throughout Canyonlands, Arches, and Moab is something called a biological soil crust.Duration: 10 minutesStop At: Upheaval Dome, , UtahDead Horse Point — it’s a creepy name, isn’t it? According to local legend, wild mustangs used to be corralled here to be broken in the early 1800s. Once all the desirable horses had been broken and claimed by the cowboys, the undesirables were left to go free.Duration: Not AvailableStop At: Candlestick Tower OverlookStop by the Visitor Center coming up ahead.

This is a must-do at Canyonlands. Once you’ve parked, walk along the short trail to the arch. As you walk, notice the juniper and pinyon trees around you. These are popular in Canyonlands so keep an eye out for them elsewhere too."Duration: Not AvailableStop At: Orange Cliffs OverlookGlen Canyon National Recreation Area, UtahThe Green River Overlook offers some of the most unique views of Canyonland’s Island in the Sky District. You’re able to see the Green River continuing its work on the canyon walls. The river is the largest stream in Utah at 730 miles. The name probably comes from the green soapstone that can be found along its banks.Duration: Not AvailableStop At: Grand View Point Overlook, , UtahWhat makes this trail special? Simple: the granaries left here by Native peoples. They’re visible from the base of the last hill if you just keep your eyes open. These granaries are hundreds of years old, so be careful when approaching. Duration: Not AvailableStop At: Needles District CanyonlandsMoab, UT 84532Remember how the park’s rocks have been formed in layers?

This app works flawlessly as long as you download your content and I'd recommend downloading your Google maps offline as well. Then all it needs to search for is your GPS. There is very little signal in the park.
The stops line up nicely and it tells you interesting facts.

This was extremely informative and easy to follow. We used it multiple times! Would highly recommend.
