  • The views and astonishing rock formations are well worth seeing. I would go again, but only after visiting other parks first.

  • We found the entire drive within Arches park worthy of the trip. Most of the famed formation required only minimal hiking to really appreciate. A "must-see" when traversing this part of Utah.

  • Located in Arches National Park, this sight is TRULY AMAZING! Do yourself a favor and make reservations in advance - it doesn't take long to do, and they are $2 per vehicle. Waiting in the entrance line also went by quickly. There are many places to pull over and hike the trails, as well as take your vehicle off-road but 4x4 is required. We didn't get the chance to venture through the entire map that they give you, but it's definitely worth coming back to see!
  • This is such a beautiful part of Arches National Park. There are so many trails that you can hike, this is one of the easier and shorter trails to hike. It is about .3 miles and it is out and back if you want to take the paved trail ( which would be the stroller-friendly option) or you can go all the way around the Balanced Rock and there are some stairs you can take down on the way back to the parking lot.
