"Much more fascinating than expected"

Reviewed August 31, 2025 NEW

We went to several parks in southern Utah and the rock formations were amazing. I had bought a life time senior pass many years ago and used it again. We signed up for a Viator tour and it was well worth it. The afternoons were very hot- preferable to go in the spring or fall. There were many large rock formations- mostly red rock...They explained how the formations were formed over millions of years.

We went in the early afternoon and didn’t wait long to get in. It was over 100 and so hot. Loved the visitor center! We went to windows and also to Delicate arch. We did not walk to delicate arch as it was too far and too hot that day. Saw it from a distance. Need a whole day here really as the sections are quite a distance apart.

"Wonderland of sandstone and sky"

Reviewed August 22, 2025 NEW

With its stunning sandstone formations, Arches is truly a one-of-a-kind national park. I visited in late March, right before the spring reservation period. The weather was perfect, and it wasn't overly crowded. After finding the Delicate Arch parking lot full, I went to the Devil's Garden Trailhead and hiked to Dark Angel, stopping at Landscape, Double O, and several other arches. While fun, this is a challenging hike, with slick rock and some scrambling. On the way back to town for lunch, I stopped at the spacious visitor center, which has excellent displays about the geology of the area. I returned in the afternoon to hike to Delicate Arch, a moderate 3-mile hike to the iconic formation. Before leaving, I stopped at Balanced Rock and Double Arch, both a short walk from the road. Double Arch was particularly stunning right before sunset, with its towering walls set against the deepening blue sky. While you could certainly spend several days here, the park is small enough where you can see the highlights in a single day if it's not too crowded. There aren't many amenities, but it is right outside the lovely city of Moab.

"Wonderful"

Because Moab reaches 100 degrees most afternoons in August, there was no timed entry. We arrived early, 7am, it was 70 degrees and quite pleasant. We are in our 70s, fit but not interested in long hikes in the heat. The highlight of our visit was Sand Dune Arch. A short walk from the parking lot into a shaded, sandy area revealed the beautiful arch up close & personal. We also walked up the hill to North Window. Lots of opportunities to see so much without hiking. Lots of pull-offs for photo opportunities. We were very surprised & pleased. When we left the park at 10:30am, the temp was already 90 degrees & climbing, yikes! Memorable visit for sure!!
