We had a very nice time on the bus that held about 25 people. We generally like to go on tours with about 12-15 people but it was ok. We had our own car but we were not able to reserve a park time slot, so in order to see the park we had to take a tour. My husband didn’t feel like fighting for parking spaces and driving around the park anyway for 4 hrs so it worked out fine. In my opinion $249 for 2 people was a little expensive but Our guide Eric was fantastic. Great personality very funny and engaging! We were able to get out of the bus at all the major arch view points and hike around at some. but we weren’t able to get out at the 3 gossips or devils garden which was kind of a bummer. Arches was a spectacular natural beauty. Crazy giant boulders balancing on rock spears. Giant arches u can walk through. Snow capped mountains and beautiful wildflowers. A dream come true. 4 hrs of heaven on earth. Soak it all up and be grateful Nixon proclaimed arches a national park of 76,000 acres for us all to enjoy!!
