    Pictures just can't compare to visiting; the sounds of the birds, the little lizards and geckos, an amazing new perspective around every corner. This place is like visiting another planet. Fascinating!

    You have to go!' Best place to go hiking or taking pictures. I still can't believe how beautiful it is. Make sure to bring a lot of water and Sunblock.

    There is no words or pictures that can describe Arches National Park. Absolutely a beautiful force of nature. It is worth the time and effort coming here. It is set up like every national park. Visitor center, scenic viewpoints, hiking trails, camp grounds and restrooms along the routes.

    Worth every penny and every minute. We spent two full days doing all arches- Delicate Arch (sunset!), Windows Loop, Double Arch, Sand Dune Arch (kids played for an hour), Landscape Arch, and the Devils Garden primitive trail. Even the younger one hiked everything without complaint. Trails are well marked, plenty of spots with ropes/chains for fun scrambling. Get there at opening to beat crowds. No traffic on weekends.

    We love this place. There are hikes for all levels from just a few hundred feet to miles of awesome trails. You can spend a few days here or a few hours. With Moab right there it a perfect get away.

    This park is beautiful and has enough for everyone to do and explore. Arches NP, near Moab is a lovely National Park. They have the highest concentration of natural arches in the world, hence the name. I learned there that most arches are formed from the erosion of ancient, petrified sand dunes (you can see these at Arches too!). Getting into the park, you will need a timed entry pass, which you can get in advance online. The line to get in is still pretty slow, so make sure to add a good twenty to thirty minutes onto your travel time to get through the gate. The visitors center is really excellent, a large educational area, and a very large gift shop, always one of my favorite parts of a park. There is a road that goes into the park, with many scenic viewpoints for the day visitor to enjoy. The easier hikes to spectacular arches are crowded, even with the timed entries. Double Arch is a good example of this. What I love best about Arches is that there is a great mix of day trip sights and longer, more intensive hikes, so no matter your travel style, you will leave happy. Thanks to the timed entry, most of the park offers a bit of serenity and not over packed with people being .....people. Love the park, and I think most people who visit leave feeling the same.

    Arches National Park is breathtaking--one of those places everyone should experience at least once in their lifetime. What's great is that you can tailor your visit to your comfort level. Many arches can be seen with short, easy walks or even from the road, while others require longer, more strenuous hikes. We almost wished we had planned two full days here to take in more of what the park offers. Since dogs are not allowed on the trails, Luna joined us for the scenic drive through the park. She got to "experience" Arches from the car, which was still special, but we respected the rules and didn't take her hiking. Pets are only allowed in parking areas, campgrounds, and along paved roads on a leash. After the drive, we brought Luna back to the hotel to rest and cool off so my husband and I could return to do some hikes on our own. Entry to the park is $30 per car, but since we were also visiting Canyonlands, we purchased the America the Beautiful annual pass for $80, which covers all U.S. national parks for a year. Here are the trails and stops we covered: Balanced Rock - Easy 0.3-mile loop. You can walk all around the formation to see it from different angles. Windows Section - About 1 mile total, with stairs leading up to North and South Windows and a view of Turret Arch nearby. Great if you want to see several arches without too much walking. Delicate Arch Upper Viewpoint - A short but steep 0.5-mile round trip. This is a good option if you don't have time or energy for the full 3-mile hike to the base but still want a clear view. Broken Arch - A short, straightforward hike with nice views. Skyline Arch - Another easy trail, perfect for quick exploration. Entry/Reservations: From April through October, you need a timed-entry reservation between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. If you arrive earlier or later, you can enter without one. Overall, Arches is beyond worth it, whether you do a scenic drive or a full day of hikes. It's a place of pure natural wonder.

    $30 for a day pass, easy roads to drive on, easy signs to follow your map. I came for the Delicate Arch (the main one Utah is known for) and that was like a 13 mile drive from the visitor center. I had a 9Month old baby with me so we didn't do the 3 mile hike to touch the arch (like I wanted to) we just drove to the viewpoint and did a small hike to get a view of the arch. It was worth it. I

    First timers and what an amazing park. The beauty is breathtaking and the hikes are great. A must visit if you haven't.

    Super secret tip...walk the primitive trails for better pictures away from the crowds.

    Arches was fantastic. The views are awe inspiring. I came during the government shutdown in October of 2025. This was probably a very good thing. The place was not too crowded and it was free entry. I enjoyed multiple hikes and everywhere you look as a stunning view. There facilities within the park are limited to outdoor style bathrooms and no form of food service. If you are coming for the day, make sure you bring plenty of water, snacks, sunscreen, and a hat. I will return with friends in the future.

    Hands down, my favorite national park... and trust me, i've been to my fair share of national parks. Yosemite and Zion are close second and thirds. I don't know what makes this my favorite park, and honestly i kinda messed up by not brining enough water, but i still had a blast hiking up to Delicate Arch. Words can not describe how magical it was seeing the Delicate Arch for the first time after hiking up the trail. Keep in mind, it not a easy hike, but you know the saying "nothing worth having comes easy". I easily spent 1-2 hours at the top of the delicate arch, and took so many pictures. What i even like about this arch, is that if you don't want to hike or are immobile, the park has a trail that's paved to view the arch from a distance. (Lower Delicate Arch Viewpoint) After hiking, we finished our water and didn't have extra in the car... otherwise i'd continue my journey to the Devil's Garden Trail. I wish i stay around Moab for longer. But i'll definitely be back in the future.

    Excellent national park and worthy of being in Utah's mighty 5. PROS: -Beautiful rock formations & arches -Easy to access and find lodging. -Moab is close. Awesome gateway town!! -Many great hikes and sights. My favorites were Landscape Arch, Mufasa Rock at beginning of Devil's Garden Trail (See Photos), Delicate Arch, Double Arch, and Windows. -Canyonlands is close. Such an amazing National Park. -Dead Horse Point State Park is close. Another amazing park. CONS: -The line to get in is so long even with the reservation system inside people spread out and it didn't feel crowded the 2 times I've been, but expect a long wait at the entrance station. Great park. I highly recommend.

    Arches National Park is the most gorgeous oven I've ever walked through. It's like nature said, "Let's be absolutely stunning... and crank the thermostat to broil." Everywhere you turn is another rock doing yoga--balancing, arching, posing for your Instagram--while the sun tries to cook you medium-well. I spent the whole hike flip-flopping between awe and mild heatstroke. One minute I was whispering "wow" like I was in a museum, the next I was debating if I could survive on the condensation from my own water bottle. But oh, the views! These red rock arches rise out of the earth like they're defying gravity just to impress you--and it works. It's hot. It's breathtaking. It's like dating someone way out of your league who also makes you sweat profusely. 5 stars. Bring water. And maybe a portable fan.

    Ask the Community - Arches National Park

    Are any of these arches(viewpoints) handicap accessible? Thanks!

    Almost all of them are accessible. Only the trails require walking.

    Is there anywhere to ride ebikes around Arches?

    You can ride throughout the park on paved and unpaved roads, but not on any of the trails.

    Dog Friendly Trails?

    Dogs can't go on trails in Arches but there are many in Moab!

    Does this arches National Park have snow every winter season?

    On average, Arches NP only receives a few inches of snow annually. While the park is at suitable elevation for a beautiful dusting of snow a couple of times a year (elevation ranges from about 4000' to more than 5600' above sea level), it generally… Read more

    Heading there in September. Any tips on best campgrounds (first come, first serve) around Arches/Moab?

    Willow Springs is a first come first serve campground. Take US Highway 191 towards Canyonland. Take right on BLM 378. The road is very hidden if you've never been there before but drive slow and look out for the road. It's probably 1-2 miles after… Read more

    Old City Park is awesome! It's a few miles out from the part of Moab that everyone visits (all the…read morehotels and restaurants), but well worth the 10-15 minute drive. The course is a full 18 holes in a very nice park that includes nice picnicking spots and a duck pond. Each hole has a beautifully made sign that includes the hole length, par, a tip for how to approach it, a Google Earth map of the tee and line to the hole, and a local sponsor. These are easily some of the better signs I've seen while playing and it made it very easy for us to go as first timers to the course. We had no problem locating baskets, the next holes, and everything else. Some of the further off baskets have awesome flags attached to the top so that you can see them from anywhere you're throwing. It made for some nice, relaxing disc golf. The course is sandy with quite a bit of trees and bushes. There is a good variety to the holes, lots of tricky shots, and lots of chances for your disc to get lost. Hole 7 was a bad one for me in particular. You start at the top of the hill and are throwing down to a basket around a corner you can't see. You are probably 50+ feet above where the basket it and the basket is 375 feet away. These kind of shots are tricky because of how the disc floats to the left when you're so high up above the ground. I landed 2 discs in the trees and had to spend quite a bit of time hunting them down, a third disc landed over in the fenced off area to the right (a watershed), but I managed to safely get it. Overall this is a great course to stop by and try out. Make sure you bring water as well, because it is always hot in Moab. This was a perfect spot for a round on our way out to play Base Camp.

    This 18 hole golf is one of the best laid-out and labeled courses I have ever played. They have…read morehole markers guiding you to each tee box to minimize those moments where you stumble around searching aimlessly. Also, each tee box has a topo and hole description so that you know where to aim for those juniper - hid baskets. The course is easy to find. It's a few miles south of town off spanish trail Rd. Being it's a desert, expect heavy sage brush and a handful of junipers. All of the holes are par 3, but they lean on the longer side. So, make sure to bring a good driver and know how to use it. Nothing was terribly technical, you just need to throw the distance. Hole 16, I recall?, does have a gully off to the left (topo at tee box forewarns you). Don't underestimate it like I did. It's a good twenty foot ditch with water and steep edges. You can't see it from the tee box, but landing a disc there is a pain. If you brought disc golfs, this course makes for a great rest day activity.
