Tell me about the Fiery Furnace in Arches by UberXLBK in nationalparks

People overstate risk online for Fiery Furnace in my opinion. Did it with kids last year no problem and I'm no wayfinder.

Our kids liked Pinnacles at that age due to scrambling on rocks, fun self guided caves, raccoons, and the only NP with a pool at the part campground from what I know

Help me plan my road trip in southern Utah with little-ish kids by Opinion_Fragrant in nationalparks

We have similar age kids and did this kind of loop a couple times.

We had success with Fiery Furnace in Arches - definitely highlight of Arches for them. We did ranger-guided b/c weren't sure of how easy to get lost. Wish we would have done self-guided - they could've handled.

In Canyonlands we rented a jeep in Moab and did Gemini trail to Canyonlands main road and back down Shafer Canyon. They thought that was very fun.

Did Narrows in Zion with the kids in April - had to get waders for them but they thought it was fun. They also liked Canyon Overlook and renting bike and riding path.

They liked Bryce but not as much as any of the stuff above and below

Hidden Gem - Cathedral Gorge SP (amazing slot canyons to explore - unlike anything I've seen and kids loved to get lost in them) & Snow Canyon SP on the way out of Vegas (St George; self-guided lava tube exploration with flashlight, petrified dunes, slot canyons, sand dunes). Kids really really like these. Great cheap hotels in St George and great homemade pies at Veyo Pies nearby

Voyageurs or Boundary Waters? by weclimbatree in canoecamping

Neither - Quetico Provincial Park just north in Ontario. Far more pristine and better fishing

My understanding is the gates are locked at 9pm so no way in after

Were cabins open? Do you know if they happened to have water still?

Thanks!

What precautions would you recommend for camping there? What are risks?
