The landscape of Arches National Park is 65 million years in the making. The park protects the densest concentration of natural stone arches in the world (over 2000!). Delicate Arch is the most recognizable formation, standing 60 feet (18 meters) tall with a breathtaking view through its curve. Remember to slow down and look beyond the arches for other equally fascinating and dramatic formations like pinnacles, balanced rocks, fins, and more.
Like many national parks, Arches hosts a lot of visitors each year. Consider planning your trip for the shoulder season or off-season for a unique, peaceful experience!
Outside the park, the town of Moab offers endless outdoor adventure! Cycling in the park is only allowed on the roads, but you can get your desert mountain biking fix (and much more) in this gateway town.
