This most recognized natural arch is a state of Utah landmark and is depicted on the Utah license plate. Located in the Arches National Park (ANP) very close to the city of Moab

The ANP contains more than 2000 natural sandstone arches carved by wind, rain, and carbonic acid over millennia.  Some of the arches that we visited include the Landscape, Skyline, Turret, Double (as seen in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade), Turret, and Delicate Arches,  as well as features such as the Balanced Rock, Windows, Courthouse Towers, and 'Park Avenue' Overview.  

In April of 2023 the NP Service will limit the number of cars entering the park each day to ensure everyone can find a place to park - so book in advance to ensure access on the day you visit, Or, schedule a visit in winter for fewer visitors, colder weather, and to experience snow contrasting with the salmon-colored Entrada Sandstone. After climbing 600 feet by car onto the ANP plateau it is easy to move from one viewpoint to another with conveniently located car parks or roadside pull-outs. To see some of the features a short walk may be required; whereas some of the more spectacular views require planning to cope with the heat of the summer or the cold of winter before setting off on a hike.  

The attached photograph was taken as the sun was setting on the 'Delicate Arch,' arguably the most famous arch in the park, and after a 1-1.5-hour, uphill hike to the arch. We were grateful for the micro-spikes that we attached to our hiking shoes for the last 200 yards before the arch, as the path faces North and is in the shadow of a large rock shielding the snow and ice from the daytime sun.  After taking some time to view the arch, the roundtrip will take about three hours.
