Arches National Park Scenic Drive

Delicate Arch Hike

Delicate Arch is the iconic arch you see a lot in magazines and on people’s Instagram accounts. If you can get to the trailhead early during the busy season, like around sunrise, it should be easy to find a spot.

Self-Guided Tours

Trip tip: The park has gotten extremely busy during the high season, so if you can visit in the off-season, you might have a more pleasant visit and hike in general.

Devils Garden

Take the Arches National Park Scenic Drive toward Devils Garden. Once you arrive at the Devils Garden parking area, get out, and walk around.
