Containing a greater concentration of naturally occurring arches than anywhere else in the world, Arches National Park is both visually stunning and bizarre. Over 2,000 sandstone arches fill the park, including the Delicate Arch which appears on Utah vehicle license plates. While many arches can be seen from the road, the best way to experience the park is on foot, hiking from arch to arch along the miles of paths that wind through the area. For longer adventures, the park offers a 52-site campground as well as a large group camping site. Be cautious if visiting during the summer: Utah's desert heat can reach extreme temperatures with an ultra-dry environment that mandates plenty of water and rest. Located a short distance north of the town of Moab, the park is close to other natural sites like Dead Horse Point State Park and Canyonlands National Park.
