The Sand Dune Arch Trail in Utah is a cool little hike that takes you through some awesome red rock formations. It's not too long or difficult, so it's perfect for a quick adventure. The highlight of the trail is the Sand Dune Arch itself, which is tucked away in a shady alcove surrounded by towering sandstone walls. Continue past the arch to find a mini slot canyon where kids love to play!

This is also my favorite place to shoot in the park if we get snow. Something about the wintry scene is so special!
