The Buzz: It's our second year backpacking here and it's an incredible trip! This is a strongly recomended campout for all new Scouts and those who haven't backpacked very often.

Day three is hiking in Arches National Park, which is a great chance to see some incredibly unique natural landmarks. On day four we travel home and go out to a buffet for lunch.
