- What's going on everybody and welcome back. If you are new here thanks for joining us, we are The Ball Family. We are a Full Time RV Family of 5 traveling the country in our 37ft travel trailer. Be sure to watch this entire video to see our warning about this trail in Arches National Park!
This video will be in Arches National Park where we will be hiking a hike named Devils Garden. This is about an 8-mile round trip hike if you hike the entire loop. If you're up to the whole loop you will not regret, it but be ready for a tough primitive section. Our suggestion would be to begin this hike clockwise so if you don't or can't do the primitive trail section you will get to see most of the arches on display during this hike.
Arches NP is located in Utah and is a beautiful landscape made of colors,
landforms, and textures unlike any other. Arches NP is home to over 2 thousand natural stone arches. While here in Arches NP you'll also see hundreds of soaring pinnacles, massive rock fins, and gigantic balanced rocks.
After Double O arch is where we will start the Primitive trail. This part of the hike is much more difficult with it being in direct sun and very little to no shade. This part of Devils Garden has lots of scrambling, rocky and rugged hiking surfaces on a less developed trail. This part of the trail is hard in some spots to follow so you'll have to rely on Cairns or other hikers, so you don't lose your way.
We hope everyone enjoys this video, we thank you for watching, we also hope you subscribe and come back for more of our family travels! See you next time!!

I love to see families together doing things. Makes for great memories and photos. Hope you can continue exploring together for many years. Rick from NC.
Thank you so much, and we hope to explore as much and as long as possible. Thank you for watching and commenting. It means a ton. ❤️
Wow! I want to go there - it is absolutely stunning! Thanks for taking us along!
We hope you get the chance to see it in person someday, it was beautiful. Thanks for watching! ❤
Beautiful hike. How wonderful to explore the USA as a family and a beautiful family at that! Look forward to your next adventure 😊
Thanks you so much! We never thought we would do or see what we have so far and can't wait for what's to come. ❤️
It’s beautiful!!
Thank you for this video, we did all the other arches first and by the time we got here my hips were done! We walked into this section but only to the sign that pointed where those two arches were. Getting old sucks! LOL ✌️
Thank you for watching and hopefully we can do as much as possible before time catches up. ❤️
I held my breath the whole time watching that little girl! Y’all are either the best parents or the worst! LOL!
Always fun to see places you've been in someone's video. Got to see part, but not all. I'm looking forward to going back. Thank you for the recommendation on travel direction for the trail. Helpful hints like those are much appreciated. So cool to get to travel and do those activities as a family. Great video. Thank you for sharing. New subscriber. I look forward to seeing some of your other vids. Cheers!
Thank you so much for the kind words and for becoming a subscriber it means a bunch to us. Thanks 😊
I did that hike back in early November. The temperatures were great. We went the same direction as you did. We turned around at the double O and went back the way we came. It was nice getting a different perspective coming back. We had done a different hike early in the day so we didn't want to wear ourselves out. The next day it was raining and snowing so we saw some beautiful waterfalls. Hiking when it's wet on these surfaces requires extra care.
Sounds like you did it perfectly and had an amazing hike. We love waterfalls and totally agree with you about hiking these surfaces while wet. Thank you for watching our video, and we are glad you had a great experience.
I was there two weeks ago and went on some amazing and stunning hikes. Thank you for sharing your adventures and video.
Thank you for watching our video, and we hope you had a great time there. It sounds like you did 😁
Wow what a beautiful hike !
It was a beautiful hike, and we would totally do it again someday if we get the chance.. Thanks for watching ❤️
Nice video with family! I've been to Arches 3 times & one of my favorite was Navaho & Partition Arches just past Landscape Arch. After ducking under Navajo Arch, Partition was amazing! The views thru the arch are cool & if you have the nerve, the look back thru the arch is exhilarating!
There is so much beauty in that are and on that trail alone. We would definitely go back someday. Thank you so much for watching ❤️
Some nice shots here. Very pretty. I'd tend to disagree that this hike is not hard. It's not for everyone. If you pay attention, you won't get lost. Thanks for posting this video. Very nice.
Greeting from Hong Kong🇭🇰. Admiring the way you guys enjoying the family gathering.👍👍👍
Wow, Hong Kong! So cool.. Thank you for watching, and we hope you enjoy some cool travels to come 😊
@@theballfamily0 l’ve been some of the spots mentioned there in 2013. However, now is getting old , may not be strong enough to go there again!🤭
@FH Chan Well, we are glad you got to explore some of these locations. We definitely are trying to experience all we can before our age limits what we can do.
That was our favorite Arches hike. We liked it so much that we came back a couple days later and did it in the opposite direction. The primitive trails are always less busy, which is nice (as long as you aren’t lost).
We would totally hike this again, and maybe we'll go in the opposite direction. Definitely gotta pay attention to the primitive trails 😳😁. Thanks a bunch for watching 🫶
That primitive trail is no joke. Was there on 4/25 and took a false path by following footprints instead of looking out for trail cairns and wound up lost for a solid 20 minutes. Ran into a guy who did the same thing and was lost for an hour.
Omg I bet that was nerve-wracking! It was a heck of a hike, and we saw firsthand how easy it would be to get off trail on this hike. We knew that going in, so we were very careful to stay on the designated trail. I'm so glad you and the others found your way back safe and sound. Thanks for commenting on your experience and watching 🤙
I think I would go counter clockwise and go down the loose sand hills rather than up. Looks amazing though. Can't wait for you to get to Michigan and try Sleeping Bear Dunes so you can see some real loose sand hills. Keep after it.
That second half was not fun, lol. We played in some loose sand also in White Sands NP and in Oregon, and it's tough stuff to hike in.. 😆
Did Primitive w/Dark Angel clockwise back on 4/10. We missed a turn after Primitive Arch and followed some footprints but turned around after .25 mile. Luckily able to backtrack and find hikers to steer us back!
Wow your kids are amazing. I hired my friend’s 16 year old son to rake my leaves on a cool fall day and she made me promise to give him a ten minute break every half hour. That’s not how MY parents raised me. Heck, I could go for two hours when I was 65.
Thanks! We are pretty lucky parents! They love hiking and adventuring with us! They never complain, and always learn so much on our adventures. Thanks for watching! 😁
That’s what cereal and pop tarts does to kids. Feed them food (beef bacon and eggs). Not poison.
I did some of the hike a couple years ago. Didn't have enough time to do the entire thing because I had plans elsewhere. So I only went as far as Double O arch. It was still one of my favorite hikes I've ever done.
It was a super amazing hike and is on our list of favorites also.
I hiked part of this trail in 2015 and saw Pine Tree, Tunnel and Landscape Arches. Sadly, there were lots of people wandering around under and near Landscape Arch even though they weren't supposed to. I stopped for a break at the rocks you show at 6:10 and a ranger informed me and several others there that the rocks were a fallen arch.
It's a beautiful hike, and we thought those rocks at 6:10 were a fallen arch. So unfortunate, yet so neat. Thanks a bunch for spending your time with us! ❤️
This was a great hike and I appreciate the video. Did the National Park Service change their rule on recording videos? If so, that's awesome and I'm glad to hear it.
We appreciate you watching our video, and as far as recording in National Parks goes, you can take videos and pictures unless it's posted otherwise. Now recording with a drone is mostly always a no.
Got lost in the Firey Furnace one time with 2 friends on a unguided venture. Mud season after a long winter working at Copper Mountain, Colorado. Camping on the river right outside of Moab. We had to sign our lives away and watch the video at the Arches Natl. Park building/office. Then we decided to eat some fungus. we made it about half way to the skull arch. Then stuff got weird. I remember puking behind a large boulder. Luckily we made it out. Nobody got hurt. If you watch the first Hulk movie with Jennifer Connelly, they turn it into a parking lot with missiles.
If you're ever passing through southern Minnesota, My door is always open. Camping in the backyard with a creek with fish and a fire pit. , beers and pizza. Roberds lake is a stones throw away. Cheers, Safe travels, Positive frequencies.
Well, that's a hike you'll never forget 😆. We haven't made it to Minnesota yet, but it's definitely on the list. Thanks a bunch for watching and commenting 🤙🤙
This is a nice video a nice family hike, how many milles in total. ? thank you very much.
Thank you so much for the kind words and its just under 8 miles if you do the entire loop.
I plan on visiting there soon. I don't want to take the entire trail, how long does it take to reach the arches?
If you go all the way to Double O Arch, I would guess around 2-3 hours taking your time. We took around 3 or more to get to that point but had our kids and took multiple breaks. It's worth it. We hope you have a great trip and thanks for watching 👍
This video will be very handy when we visit Arches during April 2024. How long was your total hike in terms of hours.
Well, we are slow hikers and love to take our time, so we usually spend way more time on hikes than what is the estimated time for the hike. It's been a while so we don't really remember how long we took on this hike (not more than half the day though) but if you download the All Trails app (free) and search your hikes it will give you the estimated time and mileage. Hope this helps and Thanks so much for watching our video.
@@theballfamily0 Thank you
Watch those rivers my man. We ride in the nearby back country and have seen some sewer trucks back there- where they clear do not belong dumping stuff upstream. It's a thing. I guess it saves them money...until they are caught and fined. I would at least not dunk your head, ears, etc. Wash up after. it don't matter how pretty the stream looks. They also have natural bacteria that my friend, a river guide told me can make you sick...even if only a little water splashes on your soda on a rafting trip. He would know as a guide.
got a Question ??? what if ya got ta go !!🤐 to the bathroom, especially for females 🤔
just got a class B RV and hoping to get there sometime, but I would not always
be close to it to use the restroom if out hiking , thanks Have a blessed day
Legit question so, we never really have to worry due to going prior knowing it'll be a while till next time. However, if there is a worry or need on a long hike, there are products for this exact thing. There are things for females that allow number 1s to be done with ease and also things like special bags for number 2s. So with some research and preparation you would find what you need and totally be ok on the trail! Hope this helps a little. 😁
@@theballfamily0 yea, that was very helpful, I am 68 and my wife in her mid 50's so I hope our hike's are not to
long, 🤐 but yea never know they could be
you guys be safe and thank you !! 👍
@2990rick So glad we can help even just a little. Thanks for spending your time with us, we really appreciate it ❤️❤️
@@theballfamily0 👍
What is the warning?
Your gonna have to watch to find out 🤷♂️😁
So what is the Warning about? Seems like Click bait to me.
Watch and find out! 🤷♂️😀
@@theballfamily0 Okay, I watched it. So?
@James Hart if you watched it and still don't know then you didn't watch it all the way or good enough.. Try again
@@theballfamily0 Okay, so the "Warning" was about not to hike the trail counter clockwise. Because that part of the trail is primitive and has no shade, and you have to walk 4 miles to get to the first arch? I'd hake that part first, in the cool of the morning, since there is no shade. But then again, I'm an old rock scrambler from Wyoming.
@James Hart Just warning people who may not want to do that part. Not everyone may want to hike it. You might, we did, but the next person may not want to. 🤷♂️ Thanks for watching 🤙
If you go in that area you make this ashes mix it powder bronze, garlic , and salt you will be safe for the bad spirit around put in your body
Why? You will make your kids not want to travel or go out the door when they are older. Balance is key in life.
Sounds like you have it all figured out. 🙄 I'll call you Mr Know It All. Have a great balanced day
As a mother of two 30-somethings who had to be bribed to hike when they were little, I can assure you that you are wrong. They, as adults, love the outdoors and hiking, camping, bouldering, hunting, or just hanging out on a rock in the middle of the lake with a guitar.
@@debmoye1985 some people 🤷♂️ 😁
Scary you bring a baby out there, anything can happen,,, dont run out of water...water is heavy to carry, too
We have done plenty of hikes with all of our children at all ages and always go prepared. Thanks for your concern and watching
@@theballfamily0 hi Bell Family, sorry I sounded kind of brash, I think that I am not as brave as you guys,,, but very interesting hikes. it is a great experience for your family. Peace Be With you
You need to shave!
Maybe you need a beard 🤷♂️
Cringetastic Clickbait
It's not really, but thanks for watching 🤷♂️
*FFS its not Carn its pronounced Karen but in one syllable. Now leave Utah and go back* *north*
You can leave our channel and go back to being a turd wherever you came from. We hope you grow up someday. Have a great day!
The irony is that they sound like a Karen saying something that dumb 🤣🤣🤣
@@theballfamily0 Ekchew8ly it's usually written (and spoken) as cairn - that's by thems dat speaka da good EEngleesh. But seeing that this is an American in their own backyard we should allow some latitude. 😜😄
Arches, along with so many other Parks in the American South West, are spectacular places to visit and hike. Sadly, after "wasting" much of my life's travelling in Europe and the Middle East, only 1 trip through this landscape was ever made by yours truly at the end of his touristing career. Now videos are all that is left.
Noticed the odd commenter here knocking taking the sprogs out hiking, but that's something I couldn't praise highly enough. Great for family cohesion, expands the youngsters' experience and appreciation of nature while working off the MacDonald's influence, gets Dad to shoulder his share of the load and lovely to see the delight of the tyke in the spa! 😊
And a final observation - never leave these things "till we retire". Most likely your body will not be up to getting the best out of it - but always do what you can. Nobody ever looks back down the length of their life and wishes that they'd done less! 🙄
@@theoztreecrasher2647 I don't even know what to say! Thank you for all the kind words 💚🙏
Nice video sir. Greetings from the Philippines 🇵🇭
Wow, the Philippines! So cool we are being watched from there, and thank you for spending your time with us. 😊
