This was a nice place to sit for a moment and grab a snack and again question if gravity is real. The Arch itself is tucked into the bottom of giant rock and directly across is another giant slanted rock. Private Arch was nice because it was off the main path and it you get to walk on a giant rock that works as a ramp to get down to it. It was impressive to have two arches at one spot like a slinky that had one ring that didn’t recoil into the group. The small arch at the bottom is dwarfed by the large upper arch. You will have to walk over two narrow spines with pretty significant drop offs if you are willing to see this one. It was just a really cool experience.ĭouble O arch was one of the busier arches and it takes some effort to get to. When you walk through the arch you find yourself in this small area that is surrounded on all sides by steep rock but open directly above. it is almost like someone was building a cave but forgot to cover the back of it. Navajo Arch is thicker and lower than the rest of the arches at the park.
One reason was it was the one with the fewest people around it when I went. Navajo Arch might have been my favorite arch in the park. I also liked that there is small window like mini arch next to it, like a window next to the open front door. As you move around the surrounding area, different rock formations from the lower section of the park are perfectly framed in this amazing piece of geology. It is almost a perfect circle and it almost looks like a picture window. Partition sits on the upper part of the Devils Garden trail, above Landscape Arch. I think Partition arch is why I had a better respect for Tunnel Arch. Visitors aren’t able to get too close to the arch but it is so big you can see it very well from a distance. At its thinnest point it is only 11 feet so I have to wonder about the physics that is holding this up in the air. It stretches 306 feet across and towers in the air. Landscape Arch is what you think of when you think of arches. It is wide at the base where a tree grows and visitors are able to walk underneath and really see the amazing structure that it is. Pine Tree Arch is located near Tunnel Arch on the Devils Garden Trail and was cool because it was the first arch that I ever walked under. But the more I looked at the pictures the more I appreciated the simplicity of it. What makes this one different is that it is pretty small and doesn’t have that large arch feel to it. It is basically just a round hole, or tunnel, through the rock. To be honest I wasn’t all that excited about it the first time that I saw it but it is starting to grow on me. Tunnel Arch is the first one that you see on the Devils Garden trail. The rest of the arches in the park you can kind of figure out the physics of how they occurred naturally but this one just stands alone in all of its glory. To me it looked like some sort of magical portal from a Sci-Fi movie. It is almost like the stage of a giant amphitheater. The arch sits on the edge of a cliff at the end of a large sloping rock. Delicate Archĭelicate Arch was one of the coolest arches that I saw at the park.
Most people go to Arches National Park for one main reason…the Arches! While I wasn’t able to make it to all of them I wanted to take a chance to show you some of the main ones that I did make it to.
