I would also add Klondike Bluffs and Sand Dune/Broken Arch as "must do's" for any kids. |

Cool - I'm enjoying this thread, too.
For my son and I, I'm planning on Devil's Garden, Fiery Furnace or Delicate Arch (depends on our time), and Klondike Bluffs (via Jeep and bike from the west). I'll look into Sand Dune/Broken Arch as well. |

It's a short little loop hike that children will enjoy. |

Thanks for the awesome pics! I think I've for sure decided on Arches. To sum up other's posts of recommended activities, here's what's been suggested so far:
Delicate Arch
Ranger-led Firey furnace
Devils Garden
Klondike Bluffs/Tower Arch
Sand Dune & Broken Arch
Eye of the Whale Arch
Anything else?

| If your kids can handle a ~4 mi round trip hike (which is about what Delicate is) I would recommend hitting The Tunnel. The absolute best part of that hike is that you will very likely have the whole place to yourself. I took my family there twice and saw no-one. The second time we went was on a Saturday during Spring Break. The park itself was packed with people (many involved in the 1/2 marathon) like I have never before seen it. We went to Sand Dune Arch (a great place for kids) and it looked like a BYU Ward Nursery. However, we didn't see a single soul on the way to the Tunnel. |

It's on the Climb-Utah site, but the specifics are part of the Circle of Friends. General info is:

Of course, you have a Circle of Friends membership, don't you? Good investment... |
