Short hike; too many people in cowboy boots! I was kinda happy it rained, thinned the herd.

Fast trip
Managed to kind of lose the crowds in the Tower Arch/Klondike Bluffs area. FOund them again at Devils Garden. Sunrise hike to Delicate Arch wasn't terrible crowded. Hiked almost all the established trails. Would love to come back with more time and go off-trail.
Being that this park is on the way to one of my favorite ranges, the Henry Mountains, I've had several occasions to pass through here. Have hiked off to see a few of the arches. By the looks of this page, I'd better spend more time in the back country from now on.
Been here twice now. Went to Delicate Arch both times, one of the most beautiful pieces of rock on the planet. On the second trip, we also visited Devil's Garden--one of the most beautiful places I've ever had the pleasure of visiting--as well as Sand Dune and Broken Arches. On the first trip we briefly stopped by the Windows as well; I would recommend the park highly as one of the most scenic on the entire planet. Seriously amazing place!
Came back for a third trip this spring, visited the Windows, Delicate Arch, all of Devil's Garden except the primitive loop, and, very briefly, Sand Dune Arch. Will be back again, that is for certain.
I've been there AS a kid, and WITH my kids. Very special place. If you like to read about an area before you visit, get Ed Abby's "Desert Solitaire." My wife and I camped and hiked there several times when we were young. A great place to go after floating Labyrinth Canyon with a Mineral Bottom exit. A magical place if you get away from the crowds, which is very easy to do.

Top 5 National Park
My third visit to Arches NP, and i realized again why i love this national park so much. There are many natural arches and beautiful desert landscape to see, with many of the hikes being very accessible. I also love physically climbing onto and around many of the Arches. Plus there's great mountain biking, and the Colorado River too!

Delicate Arch
Hiked to Delicate Arch just as the sun was setting and the crowds were leaving, which was a great way to end the day. We also got out to see Park Avenue and Double-O Arch, which were awesome, too.
We came back in 2015 and did a bunch of hikes in both Arches and Canyonlands, including Devil's Garden (saw Landscape, Navajo, Partition, Tunnel, & Pine Tree Arches).

All the Trails-One TripArches is so compact that my wife and I were able to hike all the trails in four days. Favorite part: Klondike Bluffs and Tower Arch.

Devil's Garden isone of my all time favorite hikes. And I am not talking just about the arches. Every corner presents you with fantastic views. Would return anytime
