This Surreal National Park Has 2,000+ Natural Stone Arches, Starry Night Skies, and a Scenic 18-mile Drive

"I recommend heading to Double Arch at night for stargazing—Arches earned Dark Sky Park certification in 2019, and viewpoints like Double Arch offer inky skies where stars, galaxies, and planets shimmer above the sandstone." - Stephanie Vermillion Stephanie Vermillion Stephanie Vermillion is a travel journalist and photographer covering culture and adventure for Travel + Leisure Outside, and more.

Nature's beauty. One of the best Arch in the national park. It ks a short walk frlm the parking or even from the Windows trail. You can climb on rocks to get up close to the arch. It is a beautiful formation. There are lot of photo spot out here.

It's a magnificent place. A stunning natural rock formation. It takes 5-10 minutes to reach. You'll walk for 5 minutes over slightly uneven terrain. It's a breathtaking view. I recommend visiting in March-April or September-October. It's important to come in the right season to avoid the heat. Unbelievable 🦎👍

Really beautiful and easy hike to see the double arch. It does get harder to hike all the way to the base of the arch, but still not bad (just uneven and a little more of a climb). The lower parking lot by this arch usually has parking, the upper lot closer to the north and south window usually is full. There’s no water refill station but there are vault toilets by the upper parking lot. We’ve seen a lot of the arches and this is a really epic one for the short hike! Worth seeing for sure!

Super short & easy hike for people of all ages! Double Arch is probably my favorite in the whole park due to it's vastness, great photo backdrop and great accessibility. We visited on a Friday in June (7am timed entry) and made this our first stop so we could get family photos without a crowd. We got to this arch around 8am and there was only 1 other person. Definitely a must do, especially if you have children! As always, start early and don't forget your water! :)

The double arch is a great arch to visit with small kids and older folks. There is a short path that leads you from a parking lot to the Double Arch, and it is not strenuous at all. It shares a parking lot with the landscape arch as well. Restrooms available! 4 stars instead of 5 because it was very crowded.

Pro tip: Often the lower parking lot here has more spots and easier access to the double arch. This is probably the most picturesque and beautiful place in the park due to its location and ease of access. You can actually climb inside the hollow structure and marvel at its enormity and scale. Pay attention to the bottomless pit (in the pictures) board to learn how this place came to be. Very interesting 🤔 There is another viewpoint from the top of the left arch but it's risky to climb and despite looking like an easy task, quite slippery and difficult to get down from.

Definitely worth the stop and walk up to this one! Really unique architecture as it feels like a circle or cups like arch with all the separate arches holding it together. Minor rock climbing involved in this one getting to the top, getting downs a little more tricky so be careful. Lots of other arches near by and another amazing arch trail at the top of the parking lot!

This is one of the most famous arch in the whole Arches National Park, it is the connection of two arches in orthogonal position. If you stand underneath it, you will able to see the sky was divided into three pieces, amazing
