This is not a hike for children under 10. Overall it is majestic and dead quiet. If you want a cooler hike that stays out of the sun 70% of the time, this is the one for you.

Drop to the bottom of red rock fins, See desert wildlife. Grat rock formation, arches, canyons. Great adventure. " Be careful you don't ge tlost"

Our Park Ranger was very passionate and knowledgeable (like most other rangers in Arches, so I hear). The tour was very exciting for my teen boy as we had to climb up, down and through some tricky spots along the tour. But do not fear, some of our companion tourists were much older and still made it through and thoroughly... More

We took the ranger-led 2 PM tour in late April. It was a cool day in Arches, and were happy we dressed in layers. The temp in the Furnace can be ~10 degrees cooler, but all depends on where you're at. Also, make sure to manage your liquid intake before the tour; it's a solid 3 hours till you're back... More

Only wish I could have tipped the ranger (it's not allowed).

If it's your first time, don't try this without a ranger. I am good with directions, and I would never have found my way out without difficulty. Ranger Karen made this a very fun experience. If you're a hardcore hiker, be patient, because you're only as fast as the slowest person. However, the scenery within the furnace is fascinating, and... More

This hike requires a guide. A maze of red rock that takes you to unique formations. I would do this again.

We did the 10am ranger led hike the first part of October and was the best hike we had on our trip.The hike gives you an up close look at at the Fiery Furnace area of the park, from narrow openings to hidden arches to views most of the visitors do not get to see. If visiting Canyon lands this... More
