I love this national park ! Beautiful with the red rocks and blue skies. Something for everyone! Second visit for me, hiked to delicate arch for sunset !! Be sure to drink plenty of water!!!

Adam Sigel

You need to apply for a permit to free-hike *or* do the ranger-guided tour in Fiery Furnace and both book up days in advance. Gorgeous park that you can see most of in a day. Don’t miss Delicate Arch !

David Pitts

A quintessential national park , there are various must see rock formations . Prepare to be around people, this place is often packed. Stick around for a stellar sunset

Jason Shellhammer

Absolutely must see for all Geology fans. The National Park trekker will rank this high amongst their favorites you need about two days, and be up early each day, especially in the summer.

Caroline Stickel

Delicate arch is amazing, a 3-mile hike but worth it. Double arch is beautiful and a short walk, but is very steep, so be prepared to climb.

Yvette Castro

Such a beautiful and magical place to hike red rock trails . There are trails for all levels of difficulties, but all the trails offer great views !

Renee G

Beautiful park ... Yet plan to do a lot of driving! Easy walks to balance rock and the windows if you don't want to spend much time out of your car!

Julie

Beautiful expansive park . Prepare to drive from hike to hike . Lots of shorter trails (1-4 miles), so you can pack a lot in in a day.

Jake Smith

Make sure you take a map from the Visitor Center , as it tells you how arduous each arch is to get to.

Em Reid

Devil's Garden campground is my absolute favorite in the National Parks system. Reserve very far in advance, If it's sold out online keep checking - you can sometime snag a spot via a cancellation.

Jake Simms

If there is a full moon, drive in as the sun is setting. The crowds will begin to disperse a bit and by the time it is dark, you'll more or less be alone. Except for the photographers .

Kyra Kilian

Enjoyed the park . Pay attention to their Twitter . They are currently reaching FULL capacity early in the morning (we got there at 6:30 am &they were at capacity at 7:30. DRINK LOTS OF WATER PEOPLE!!

L Wilson

I LOVED this park ! Everything was beautiful and set up so you could choose to walk for better views or continue on your scenic drive.

Cole T

Incredible park and experience. The sheer number of arches to see and experience can seem overwhelming. Delicate Arch is breathtaking and the Devil’s Garden trail will challenge and reward you.

Crystal Faunt

Take your time and enjoy the surroundings. Come off season to appreciate the quiet and spot wildlife . Stay late to see the stars.

Kyle Jackson

I've never been in a place so silent! You could hear the internal hum of your eardrum, the snow resting on your shoulders, and stepping on the individual grains of dirt. I loved it!

Morgan Thomas

SO BEAUTIFUL! Bring plenty of water or get water at the visitor center . There are hiking paths and camping ! Bring your camera . 127 Hours movie was about this place.

Men's Health Mag

Sure, you could spend days exploring this vast park . But for people on the move, its drive is scattered with plenty of gorgeous lookouts. Read more

We went to the Double O arch. Actually we did not realize one can go through the little O until others did it. From the inside the view is much more stunning! Definitely a highlight!

Teagan Vonderheit

Delicate Arch is a must (and the others). Start with delicate early AM. Great hike and beautiful scenery .

Greatist

One of the most popular trails , the Delicate Arch trail , takes you to the well-known arch by the same name -- a photo op not to miss! Read more

Jinnie L

amazing place. just stunning!! "$10 for 7 days pass" but if u go there early morning like sunrise or late like after 7pm u can drive around the park for free ;)

Jesse Harris

February is a great time to visit. Most venues have winter rates still in effect, it's not too crowded , and the temperatures are just right for hiking without getting too cold or too hot.

eric bornemann

Amazing national park but way too many people on the main trails . Make sure you do some primitive trails to get away from the crowds.

Richard Wallass

One of the most beautiful US park . You can plan 1 week in Moab

Jeremiah Owen

Signage in park sucks, as it doesn't really let you know everything down a particular road .Highlight for us was Sandstone Arch (if you have kids they will LOVE it!) We will be visiting again for sure

Katy Pape

I recommend walking a bit off the path at the Windows section to see Turret Arch. It was much less crowded and offered a great view of two other arches through it.

Vitamin Yi

It's a difficult hike during the day, but the earlier you can hike up to the delicate arch for sunset , the better spot you'll have to watch something amazing!

Just 5 miles north of Moab, this park features the world’s largest concentration of natural red and golden sandstone arches. Arches, canyons, and spires give this landscape an extraterrestrial aura. Read more

This National Park has beautiful scenery , including sandstone formations carved by wind and water over hundreds of years – a sight to see. The night sky view sitting under the arches is terrific.

Camilia

It’s a must see national park . Beautiful weather in May.

Anna James

Two must-do hikes-Delicate arch and Double O arch in the Devils garden . On the latter hike check out the largest natural arch-Landscape arch.

Krishna D

Numerous hikes in NP and biking on the road , and would be a great geology lesson to take a look at rocks and study from observing them.

For camping in the Arches National Park campground , reserve online in advance of your arrival to secure a spot. There are no walk up camping opportunities in the high season in Arches National Park. Read more

Dan Lower

Delicate Arch hike . It's difficult but we'll worth the effort. Hike early, drink plenty of water and take breaks as needed

Kelli Tomko

This is a huge place, not just a little drive through park . Plan a long day, not just a quick stop. It's well worth it.

Jonathan Nalder

Make sure to get a national park passport and get the stamps - great activity for kids. Plus the rangers are happy to sign the passports too :)

Island Bruin

New scenery around every bend. Take the trails from the outlooks to get up close and personal with the arches.

Bobby

On the wAy this is a fun stop for the whole family to hike right underneath! Have fun!

席子

Go hike the fantastic Devil's Garden trail early in the morning. Walk (and occasionally crawl) the primitive loop on the way back!

Dakota Arkin

Loved this places. Looked more like the ruins of a grand, ancient city than a park — amazing views . http://bit.ly/1TQKwIL

Katya

You won't get a decent shot of Delicate Arch even from the upper trail without a 300mm lens. Or you could hike in on the main trail .

Simon Kreuzer

Walk early in the summer because of the heat.But do it. All the arches are very beautiful!

Amanda Violato

Beautiful national park . The devil's garden with the primitive loop is awesome but start early !

Jason Bellows

Like all the parks in the National Park system, a landscape of awe and wonder; another treasure to enjoy.

Noah Adams

Great hiking , mostly very easy. So unique, no other park like it!

Kris Ferris

Delicate Arch is a dime of a hike . Also be sure to get a pic with the golden ram at the VC.

Arthur Mitchell

A beautiful park , but there is not a lot to see and not very many hiking trails . They failed in using black asphalt to repave when red asphalt would have fit the area better

Asher Kahn-Krell

Make sure to spend some serious time here and if you are up for it take the adventurous primitive trail out to Dark Angel.

Sander Zuurhout

Beautiful! Must visit! Great walking trails with easy access .
