Day 2 at Arches National Park
We arrived at Arches National Park during our ticketed entry time of 1:00 pm, after our morning excursion through Hell’s Gate. We enjoyed driving the scenic route through the park and stopped at all of the breathtaking top things to see.
Must See at Arches National Park:
- La Sal Mountains
- This viewpoint offers a spectacular panoramic view of the La Sal Mountains that stretches across the red rock landscape.
- Courthouse Towers Viewpoint
- From this viewpoint, you will see the sandstone formations that resemble an ancient courthouse. Great spot for photographers and nature enthusiasts to capture the magnificent park structures.
- Balanced Rock Viewpoint
- Balanced Rock is defying gravity itself. While viewing this geological wonder, you are reminded of the ever changing forces that form the landscape over millions of years.
Each one of these viewpoints reveal a unique part in the park’s geological story.
