Arches National Park Scenic Drive



Moab has long been a favorite place for adventure sport enthusiasts like mountain-bikers and rock climbers but simply driving the Arches National Park route as a sightseeing day trip is incredible in its own right.

With an introductory explanation of the complex geological forces required to create features like The Windows, and the slow, constant affect weather elements have to change the landscape, you’ll appreciate how remarkably unique it is. Hear stories about the characters who were drawn here and the fragile ecosystem that supplies a lifeline to a surprising amount of diversity.

But with over 2,000 arches located throughout the park, and most travellers on a limited schedule, we’ll lead you to not to be missed features like Double Arch and Landscape Arch. More time may allow you to visit Skyline Arch and Devils Garden areas, as well as many more.

Devil’s Garden Trailhead



Each area of Arches National Park has its unique features. Devil’s Garden might be one of the best to see ‘fins’, examples of these narrow rock walls before they have eroded away into the formation of arches. And of course the longest arch, Landscape Arch at 300 feet (94 metres) – while it lasts!

• Admission Ticket Not Included

Double Arch



One spectacular arch not enough for you? Try Double Arch! Windows is a ‘must see’ section to explore within the Park, packed with a number of features in a small area, and easily accessible by a series of easy walks.

Landscape Arch Trail & Devils Garden Trail



The longest span arch in Arches National Park, Landscape Arch stretches 300+ feet (94m), but only 11 feet (3.5m) at its center point. Enjoy this arch while you can. You can see the debris from a fall back in 1991 when a large 60 foot (18m) slab fell in 1991. Since then the trail beneath the arch is closed.

The trail begins at Devils Garden trailhead. It is hard packed, with a few rolling hills, and around 1.6 miles (2.6 km) return.

Photograph in the early morning for best colours.

The Windows Section



You may never get to see all the 2000 arches of the park, but the Windows section is a great opportunity to see several arches in close proximity to each other. Looking through Windows, you will feel like you are staring into a completely different place.

Delicate Arch



One spectacular arch not enough for you? Try Double Arch! Windows is a ‘must see’ section to explore within the Park, packed with a number of features in a small area, and easily accessible by a series of easy walks.

Park Avenue Trail



Do the sheer cliffs of Park Avenue and the Courthouse Towers remind you of a downtown city sklyline?

There is an easy and paved trail to the Park Avenue viewpoint. Continue on another (1.6km/1 mile) deep down into the canyon onto the Courthouse Towers.

• Admission Ticket Free

Skyline Arch



If you are flexible with your timing, try saving Skyline Arch for the late afternoon. It’s a short, easy 1/2 mile trail, but takes spectacular photos when the sun is low.
