Iconic Arches of Utah

Arches National Park in eastern Utah contains over 2,000 natural sandstone arches and unique geological formations. This collection highlights the Windows Section, where the North and South Windows form massive openings in a single sandstone fin. It also includes the 128-foot tall Balanced Rock and the massive Double Arch, which spans 144 feet across.

Best Campgrounds

These camping destinations provide direct access to Arches National Park and the Colorado River corridor. Devils Garden offers the only sites within the park boundaries, situated among sandstone fins near major trailheads. Along Highway 128, BLM-managed sites like Goose Island and Drinks Canyon provide riverside access and proximity to the Moab Canyon Pathway. While park sites require advanced reservations, the surrounding BLM campgrounds operate primarily on a first-come, first-served basis, offering vault toilets and fire rings in a high-desert environment.
