May is a great time to enjoy all the outdoor activities and things you can do at Arches National Park. Remember to carry a hydration pack or a refillable water bottle in your backpack and wear sunscreen.
You can expect highs near 80 and lows near 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Since you won’t find many shady spots at Arches, we recommend you plan outdoor activities in the cooler mornings and evenings.
Arches Ranger-led programs are a good way to get to know more about this unique park. Find out what activities are available during your stay in April!
