"Arches National Park" Arches National Park by agapotravel

Arches National Park Travel Guide: 609 reviews and 1,552 photos

Arches National Park was probably one of my favorite things about this trip. There are so many arches to see and so many trails to explore. It's also great for people that don't want to do a lot of walking, as a lot of things in the park are easily accessible. This was the most crowded park we visited. My advice is to do what we did - we started hiking at 8 AM and were out of the park by 3 PM. As the afternoon approached, so did the crowds. It costs $10/vehicle to visit this park.

    So many great photos, and a great introduction to lots of trails! But I can't believe parents were letting their kids climb on the arches - surely that isn't allowed?

    An interesting new page with fine photos. Getting an early start in the morning sounds like very good advice in a place like this.

    Is there also a "fallen arch"? Some lady at the Shoe Station was talking about it the other day. OK, enough humor. GREAT page, enjoyed my peek.
