Two States, One Perfect Day: Arches National Park & Palisade Peaches

Our road trip out West comes to an end with two totally different, yet equally amazing, destinations: Arches National Park and Palisade, Colorado. We start in Arches, exploring some of the park’s most iconic landscapes. From sculpted red rock formations to sweeping desert views, this final national park stop felt like the perfect way to close out our Utah adventures. Even after seeing so many natural wonders on this trip, Arches still managed to surprise us with its dramatic scenery and the pure scale of those sandstone arches. After leaving the desert heat behind, we made our way to Palisade, a small Colorado town known for its orchards, wineries, and relaxed atmosphere. We tried their famous Palisade peaches (absolutely worth the hype!), visited a local winery and meadery (Talon Wines at The Meadery), and even stopped by a distillery (Peach Street Distillers) to taste some of the region’s best craft spirits. This final stretch of the road trip reminded us why we love traveling so much: dramatic landscapes, unexpected finds, small-town charm, and the chance to savor the places we explore. *This video was filmed in August 2025. == Follow Us == ❤ Instagram -   / matt_and_ra.  . ❤ TikTok -   / matt_and_rachel   == About Us == We are Matt and Rachel, a couple based out of Pennsylvania, with a knack for adventure.
