Arches National Park is a treasure-filled destination for hiking, geological wonder, photography, and gawking. The natural formations of bridges and arches throughout this special part of Utah makes one think about how things work over thousands and millions of years, and how what we see today is different than it was just 100 years ago and how it will look 100 years from now. The park offers many trails, viewpoints, and varieties of formations, some accessible directly from your car and others a few miles out on dry, desert, rocky trails. Go and enjoy it.
