Hello! There are a variety of hikes that you could take that would not require climbing or vertical hikes. A few I can suggest are Balanced Rock Hike, Sand Dune Arch Hike, and Skyline Arch Hike. There are many more and you can locate them on the map given out at the park entrance. The easiest route to view a significant part of the park is driving the Scenic Drive, which is about 22 miles one way. I would avoid the most famous hike, Delicate Arch, since it does require you to hike up and around. It is a fabulous park with lots to see. Enjoy!

Also, do I need to get another entry pass if I go to the Canyonlands or I can use the one I got for Arches?

The “America the beautiful “pass (recreation.gov) usually saves you a lot of money and will get you into the national parks. You can purchase entrancenpasses to parks separately but it’s …

The “America the beautiful “pass (recreation.gov) usually saves you a lot of money and will get you into the national parks. You can purchase entrancenpasses to parks separately but it’s more expensive. The times entry for arches is different and you need BOTH a vehicle pass and the timed entry. Look at the arches website it explains it pretty well. I think the timed entry is also through recreation.gov Canyonlands is much less visited so no times entry. But you need a park pass to get in
