Dwarfed by these humungous arches, it’s no surprise if you feel like you’ve been transported to an alternate reality. Here, at elevations ranging from over 4000 to almost 6000 feet above sea level, Arches National Park is home to more than 2000 natural sandstone arches. The weathered red rocks have been around for millions of years and some bask in their popularity while others wait to be found. Prepare for varying hikes, depending on what you’re up for. Raring to visit the Delicate Arch? After all, this 60-foot-tall arch is the landmark of the park - and depicted on Utah license plates. It was also where the Olympic torch relay of the 2002 Winter Olympics passed through. The arch is the foreground to snow-capped mountains in the distance, with blue skies and clouds floating past.

Then, there’s the Pine Tree Arch, framing distant red rocks and a sky so blue it almost looks like a painting. The trails offer different levels of difficulty so you can take your kids along and let them gape at the different rock formations. Explore the Devil’s Garden, featuring rock fins and the Landscape Arch, the arch spanning the longest and providing the perfect setting for a glorious photo. Stick around to watch the billions of stars sprinkled across the night sky through the “windows” in the arches and it will no doubt be a magical experience. Let Mother Nature awe you at every turn here at Arches National Park.
