Arches is definitely worth the visit. Be sure to hike out to see Delicate Arch.
There’s a back entrance to Arches that you enter farther N up the highway past the main entrance. I think it comes into the park at Balance Rock. @rasband tipped me off to it in 2021. We entered that way in our Yukon, so it’s not difficult, but more fun than waiting in a line or the main entry in general. There are a couple of sights to see along the way.
This is the list I have from this thread and other discussions. Pretty small (edited to add a few more who notified me of plans to go or not:

You can scratch me off the list. Won't make it.
I really really want to go, but those dates are right at the tail end of the last days of my 3 month notice at work. I just don't see being able to enjoy wheeling while dealing with whatever is going on at work.
Once I have a better idea of what I'm doing, let's plan on multiple trips over the summer, fall, and next winter around north america! (the Official TJ Fest Tour?)

Only if you pack enough frozen snickers bars and waters and kool-aid mix to keep me from wilting. I ain't built for the heat.
Give me 90°+ days any day. I hate even being the slightest bit cold.

June isn't that bad. I've wheeled there in July and enjoyed it.
I always have frozen snickers and waters.
Cant swing the anniversary in Moab again lol. We're going to need to get you out there again.
I am looking forward to the trip.
There’s got to be more participants.
I’m wanting to run Cliffhanger, Poison Spider/Golden Crack/Gold Bar (long day), Kane Creek, Pritchett, and whatever else. After that I’ll be looking to wheel CA.
Start at Rusty Nail/Golden Spike/Exit Poison Spider.
Started around 10 and we were out before dark. Rusty nail is one of my favorite trails plus you still get to hit Golden Crack! I think its more enjoyable than the run you listed above...
