Arches National Park Highlights

Delicate Arch
Delicate Arch has made Arches more famous over the last several years by being featured in commercial backdrops to landing on the Utah license plate. However, Delicate Arch is also probably one of the most spectacular experiences in Arches National Park. The hike to this arch is fairly strenuous and there is very little protection from shade. So dress accordingly with the proper gear and you will experience the hike of a lifetime!

Park Avenue
One mile (one-way) trail that takes you into a beautiful canyon surrounded by spectacular towering sandstone formations that resemble a city skyline. You will have a great view of the Three Gossips, North Park Avenue, Tower of Babel and more!

Skyline Arch
One of Arches" most popular formations, Skyline Arch has entertained adults and children alike! If you can manage the difficult scramble up and under the arch, you are set for some excellent views. For those who do not wish to climb up and under the arch, never fear, this arch can be seen from the roadside and along the short trail leading up to the arch. Skyline Arch is a popular place to visit during sunrise and sunset for some spectacular photography opportunities!

Scenic Ride
This 18 mile road from the entrance to the north point of Arches National Park has an abundance of sights to keep you entertained all day. There are three picnic areas along the way for your convenience. See sights such as: Park Avenue, Three Gossips, The Windows Section, Delicate Arch Viewpoint, Fiery Furnace and more!
