"These spots never disappoint. From towering arches to breathtaking hikes, here's everything you shouldn't miss if you're heading to Arches National Park."

If you're heading to Arches National Park, I've got the guide of places to see while you're there! I've visited so many times, and these spots never disappoint. From towering arches to breathtaking hikes, here's everything you shouldn't miss.

1. Double Arch

This is one of my favorites because two massive arches are formed together, creating a stunning window-like ceiling. What's great is that it's an easy hike—just a short walk from the road. Once you get underneath, the perspective is incredible, and it's close to other must-see arches.

A short distance from Double Arch, you'll find Turret Arch, which is tall and striking. Nearby, the North and South Windows offer jaw-dropping views, especially at sunrise.

4. Delicate Arch (The Iconic Must-See!)

My top favorite in the park! The 3.2-mile round-trip hike feels like walking on another planet. This is Utah's most famous landmark and even appears on their license plates!

5. Skyline Arch (Easy Drive-By View)

You can see Skyline Arch right from the road—no hiking required! In 1940, a massive rockfall doubled the size of its opening.

6. Broken Arch & Sand Dune Arch

Near the campground, Broken Arch looks like two arches merging together. Don't miss the kid-friendly Sand Dune Arch, hidden between towering fins.
