Welcome to the Yellow Cat Explore Series. We believe that half the fun of seeing a new place is discovering things for yourself. We’ll tell you the basics, but we won't bore you with how great our own experiences were or how amazing you're going to feel. We get you there and then let you truly discover and explore for yourself.

In this guide to Arches and Canyonlands National Parks, after making sure you can find your way around the park, have a place to camp, as well as food and gas (and plenty of water), we’ll help you truly explore the park’s geology, history, prehistory, wildlife, plants, and people.

For example, did you know that there was a major meteor impact in Canyonlands that left a crater three miles wide and had the effect of an 8.0 earthquake on nearby rocks, deforming them for miles? And that little 10-year-old Wiladeane Chaffin once herded cattle all alone in some of the most rugged and remote country known (the Maze)?

And how about the photographer who decided to try a unique technique for lighting up Delicate Arch and ended up getting himself banned from the park? And is it really possible that you’re being followed by the same raven from site to site?

Our guide has lots of interesting facts you won’t find elsewhere. And who else has an in-the-field expert (Quoth the Raven) who’s spent their entire life in the park?

Join us in exploring the legendary canyon country!
