Steve’s take
Over 2,000 natural sandstone arches in a 76,000-acre slickrock landscape, including the iconic Delicate Arch (the one on the Utah license plate). The 18-mile scenic drive is the highlight reel: Park Avenue, Balanced Rock, the Windows Section (3 short walks), Double Arch, Devils Garden. Delicate Arch is a 3-mile round-trip moderate hike — go at sunrise or sunset. Timed-entry reservations required April–October. Off US-191 north of Moab.
