Korri flew his drone through the arch! Since he couldn’t fly it at Arches, this was the next best place to actually fly THROUGH an arch (though I’ve since learned there are other arch options in the Moab area…next time!).

You can hike up to it but we opted not to after two long days of hiking, plus we had hikes planned elsewhere later in the day. You can’t miss it as you’re driving south, and I think it’s easy to spot if you’re headed north, too. Wilson Arch is a random arch on the eastern side of the highway between Moab and Monticello (30 minutes south of Moab, 10 minutes south of Hole ‘N The Rock). Related: Southeast Utah and southwest Colorado national parks road trip itinerary WILSON ARCH I love quirky tourist traps, so you may enjoy it if you do, too! It’s basically just a house that someone carved into the rock (not sure how that’s legal lol) and turned into a museum with an adjacent petting zoo. I missed the turn and decided to skip it since it was low on my list of things to do.
The turn comes up VERY quickly if you’re driving south from Moab-it’s literally on the other side of the painted rock. Hole ‘N The Rock is 20 minutes south of Moab along Highway 191. Where to stop on a road trip between Moab and Cortez HOLE ‘N THE ROCK
CORTEZ COLORADO SCENERY FULL
If you plan a national parks road trip, be sure to pick up an Interagency Annual Pass for $80-this will get you entry into all of these parks (and all of the others) for a full year! Each park entry is $30 per vehicle if you do not have a pass, so the pass pays for itself if you go to only three parks. I also included a few other ideas that we didn’t have time for and other routes you can take! It was quite a whirlwind to fit all of this into one day but I’m still happy we managed to hit up everything on my list. Here’s where we stopped on the section of our road trip between Moab and Cortez. After that, it was off to Cortez to spend two full days checking out Canyons of the Ancients and Mesa Verde! Neither of us had been past Moab before, and for Korri the whole trip past Provo was new.
Of course, I had Moab on the itinerary-we spent two full days in Moab hitting up Canyonlands and Arches. In late April and early May, Korri and I went on a long road trip through southeast Utah and southwest Colorado, hitting up a bunch of national parks and monuments along the way.
