Arches National Park

Arches National Park’s red rock wonderland is in southeastern Utah’s spectacular canyon country.

The park preserves more than 76,000 acres of high desert landscape with deep canyons, improbable balanced rocks, soaring pinnacles and more than 2,000 natural stone arches.

It is truly one of America’s scenic wonders.

Plan Your Visit

Arches National Park is open 24 hours a day, year-round.

It’s located just 5 miles north of the city of Moab on U.S. Highway 191.

There are many incredible rock formations and spectacular views to see in Arches National Park.

You’ll want to plan on spending at least a few hours in Arches, exploring the paved, 18-mile scenic drive and several of the viewpoints and short trails. If time permits, longer hikes lead to many spectacular rock formations.

You can also camp at The Devils Garden Campground, just 18 miles from the park entrance. This is a beautiful campground where sites are nestled among slickrock outcroppings.
