We are headed down to Moab over Easter weekend. I am looking for suggestions on hikes or places to visit. Last time I was there was bout 10+ years ago and my wife has never been. We are planning on doing Delicate Arch, Double Arch, and Landscape Arch. Anyone have any other suggestions? We have a 4 yr old and a 5 month old that I will be packing around so nothing too strenuous. Thanks!

You are going to see some major crowds on those hikes.

Tower Arch is awesome and there is not much traffic out there (make sure you check the road conditions)
Sand Dune Arch is a must for kids

Outside of Arches..
Fisher Towers
Onion creek is great for Kids


I really like Island in the Sky, Kid friendly hikes
Mesa Arch
Grand View Point
Aztec Butte (little bit of exposure)

Great. Thanks all. Those look like some great suggestions. My little boy loves dinosaurs so I think we will have to visit the dinosaur tracks for sure.

Totally agree, stay away from the high traffic areas on the holiday weekend. Definitely go see the dino tracks. It is an easy access for the kiddos. The Tusher Tunnel is another place that your 4-year old will love! It is a natural tunnel right through the side of a cliff. If you have a SUV you can drive all the way there. A low clearance car may require a little bit of hiking or some creative driving skills in a couple of spots. And, when your baby is a couple of years older, half-day rafting trips are a really fun way for the family to cool off in the afternoon.

Somewhere away from Moab is the best advice I can give. The Moab area around Easter is a complete zoo. Unless you already made arrangements, I wish you good luck on finding a campsite.

Thanks again for all the suggestions. Yes, we already have reservations. Easter weekend was the only time I was able to get away from work.
