Arches National Park
The park may be home to a daunting number of arches – more than 2000 have been documented – many of the most photogenic are easily accessed from the 18-mile scenic drive.
You’ll also see balanced rocks, eroding spires and towering red fins. One don’t-miss span is Delicate Arch, familiar from the Utah state license plate and countless travel articles. It’s a three-mile round-trip hike to see it. For more arches, tackle the 7.2-mile round-trip Devils Garden Trail, which passes eight of them. Look for Landscape Arch on this hike. It’s the longest arch in North America. For campers, the deep-red sandstone fins of the Devils Garden double as one of the most impressive camping backdrops in the region.
