Utah/Colorado Parks 2026 Trip

Utah and Colorado National Parks 2026

We're heading out tomorrow for our annual trip. We are planning to head for Southeast Utah and Southwest Colorado. At a minimum we are planning to visit Arches National Park, Canyonlands National Park, Natural Bridges National Moument and Mesa Verde National Park. We have visited all of these in the past but not in several years and they are all worth multiple visits. We are also hoping to ride Potash Road which is a 17 mile ride (34 mile round trip) located just 4 miles outside of Moab. Assuming the weather works out, we may also try the Million Dollar Highway that goes from Silverton, CO to Ouray, CO.

We're a little worried about weather. There have been numerous fires in the South and Southwest as well as rain and flash floods in both the Grand Canyon amd Zion National Park. That being said, it appears to be curretly clear where we're heading.
