We took the kids to the desert… in July. In this episode, we head to Moab, Utah, to explore Arches National Park during the peak of summer heat. We’ll share what it’s like to watch the sunrise from North Window, how we kept cool with cold cave hideouts and Camelbaks, and why Sand Dune Arch might be your new favorite sandbox.

As always, Nash shares his favorite sights and hikes , Otis delivers some truly spiky Would You Rathers, and we uncover the real reason we ditched the camper van for a hotel.

Plus:

  • 🎒 Our must-have desert hiking gear
  • 🥾 The "Easy" Hikes when it's over 100 degrees
  • 🧠 Truth or Trash: Arches, animals, and Indiana Jones
