Arches National Park

This is the time of year when you have to start making travel plans for spring and summer, especially if you're heading to a National Park. Hotel and campground reservations go fast at most of them.

Last spring we spent a few days at Utah's Arches National Park. It's a spectacular place, and ideal for younger kids. I highly recommend traveling there in the spring to avoid the desert heat of summer.
