One of the Southwest’s most gorgeous parks, Arches is one of the world’s greatest concentration of sandstone arches. Just 5 miles north of Moab on Hwy 191, the park is always packed in during the Summer. Consider a moonlight exploration, when it’s cooler and the rocks feel ghostly. Many arches are easily reached by paved roads and relatively short hiking trails. Highlights include Balanced Rock, the oft-photographed Delicate Arch (best captured in the late afternoon), the spectacularly elongated Landscape Arch, and popular, twice-daily ranger-led trips into the Fiery Furnace, for which reservations are recommended.
