Partition Arch, Arches National Park

This is a really neat arch found in the Devil's Garden area of Arches. The arch itself is nice, but what separates this arch from a lot of the other arches are 1) the views from / through the arch, and 2) the relative lack of crowds here. Because this arch is on a side spur off the main trail, and because it is found farther up the trail from Landscape Arch (meaning after the big rock climb up to the next level of the park), is place feels relatively secluded compared to the rest of the park. This is a great place to relax, recharge, and soak in the views before continuing the hike

If you’re willing to push past Landscape Arch and do the more serious hiking then be sure to stop at Partition Arch! Partition Arch is just a bit up and to the right of Landscape Arch. While it doesn’t posses the impressive magnitude of Landscape Arch it does offer some incredible views of the Devil’s Playground and a good climb for those after a challenge! The trail for partition arch is definitely a moderate trail- it’s much steeper and narrower than the long walk to Landscape. Be sure to have plenty of water and a sturdy pair of shoes when visiting- you will be thankful you did!
