Arches National Park Entrance Station

"Arches National Park, a true marvel of nature, boasts over 2,000 natural sandstone arches, towering spires, and stunning rock formations. As you enter the park, you'll be greeted by the iconic Delicate Arch, standing majestically against the vast desert landscape. Other must-see attractions include the fiery hues of the Windows Section, the massive Landscape Arch, and the surreal formations at Devil's Garden. With numerous hiking trails ranging from easy strolls to challenging treks, there's something for every adventurer. And as the sun sets, the park transforms into a canvas of vibrant colors, making for an unforgettable experience. The park is open 24/7, 365 days a year. However, if you are arriving in peak season, we would advise arriving as early as possible - to us, this is arriving around 6am, but to each their own. Be prepared for long lines to enter the park, particularly in summer and spring, which can be upwards of three hours. However, visiting in early December, my boyfriend and I found no lines at all, making it extremely easy to find parking and enjoy the park without massive crowds. We were able to take advantage of this opportunity to capture stunning pictures without interruptions. While you can opt to buy an audio-guided tour, we relied on AllTrails for navigation and had a seamless experience."
