National Iowa Day!

2/8 Edited to

... Read moreNational Iowa Day is a special occasion that gives us all a chance to reflect on the unique beauty and spirit of Iowa. Known as The Hawkeye State, Iowa is celebrated for its picturesque landscapes featuring rolling hills and vast cornfields that stretch as far as the eye can see. Living in Iowa often means experiencing a close-knit community atmosphere, where small towns offer a blend of historic charm and welcoming neighbors. Having grown up in Iowa myself, I can attest to the warm sense of belonging this state provides. From the excitement of local festivals to the peacefulness of rural drives, Iowa offers a wonderful balance of vibrant community life and tranquil nature. On National Iowa Day, many people share their favorite memories or photos using hashtags like #iowalife, #iowagirl, and #home, which helps create a collective celebration of state pride. Whether you grew up in Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, or a small town surrounded by cornfields, Iowa has a way of staying in your heart. The day is also a reminder to support local businesses and enjoy Iowa’s agricultural bounty. So, for those who call Iowa home or are simply fans of the Hawkeye State, take today to celebrate what makes this place so special and connect with others who share that love.

Arches NP is about 3.5 hours from Salt Lake City, so you’re better off staying in the nearby town of Moab. Plus, you’ll also be able to visit Canyonlands NP, Dead Horse State Park & Corona Arch which are all nearby. From April - October, reservations are required for Arches National Park.
