Arches

Arches National Park, one of a quintet of stunning Utah national parks, may not attract the same number of visitors as the state’s more-accessible Zion or Bryce Canyon parks, but its surreal terrain of towering sandstone arches makes this Southern Utah wilderness wonderland one sensory experience not to be missed. Hiking is the preferred activity here, with a series of rewarding treks leading to the base of red-stone arches surrounded by equally colorful rock formations. Two particular arches reign supreme over the 2000-plus that dot the scene: Delicate Arch, a lone-standing arch whose likeness also embellishes Utah license plates; and the slender 300-feet-wide Landscape Arch, the largest in the park.
