And I don't gatekeep information. My mission is to tell my story completely for free. This channel is completely funded by me. Dogs are not welcome in Canyonlands or Arches National Park. They must remain on pavement. Given the harsh weather of the desert, don't bring your dog to national parks. Drones are not allowed in any national or state park in the area. Leave your drones at home. Rule number 1 when visiting the desert is DON’T BUST THE CRUST! That weird, raised, bumpy soil you see is alive. It’s called cryptobiotic soil and it is an integral part of preventing erosion and allowing for plant life to thrive in the desert. It is fragile and stepping on it will ruin years of development. ✨ Follow me… Pinterest:   / aforestfox   TikTok:   / megintheforest   Instagram:   / megintheforest   ✨ Additional Resources ✨ The complete guide to visiting Moab, Utah: https://bit.ly/moabguide Purchase Your Annual Parks Pass and enter Arches and Canyonlands at no charge (affiliate link): https://bit.ly/nationalparkspass2024 Advanced reservation info for Arches National Park: https://www.nps.gov/arch/planyourvisi...
