This National Parks features some truly amazing rock formations and some unique natural arches. Most of the attractions
are easily accessible, but a few spectacular arches require some hiking. One of the most spectacular arches,
Delicate Arch,
can be reached by a 2.8 miles trail that takes you directly to the arch. There are also some 4WD tracks waiting for
adventurous
visitors.
