Arches National Park is one of my favorite American national parks. There are over 2,000 natural arches in the park, mostly focused in several key sections in the park. Many of them are short and easy walks from parking lots, though there are some longer and more challenging hikes too.
The incredible natural beauty and variety of ways to experience the arches and fins they are formed from put this park on my list of the best national parks in the United States.
