arid desert, punctuated with oddly eroded sandstone
forms such as fins, pinnacles, spires, balanced rocks,
and arches. The 73,000-acre region has over 2,000 of
these "miracles of nature." A 40-mile round-trip paved
road in arches national park leads visitors to the
major sights, including Balanced Rock, Skyline Arch,
Double Arch, Fiery Furnace, and the park's most famous
geologic feature - Delicate Arch.
The entrance to
the park is found 5 miles north of the town of Moab
via US 191. The drive gives dramatic and sweeping
views from atop a plateau. Visitors can see many of
these geologic wonders from a distance or up close.
