Totally amazing scenery, and just unbelievably vast vistas. It can be difficult to park at some viewpoints but generally OK. There are toilets and trash cans but no food or water so make sure you have plenty.

We went to Arches two times. Once during the day on a jeep tour and once later in the day for a sunset. Both are worth while. I am a photographer and I was amazed at the colors and rock formations. You can only do the sunset visit on Friday. There are many places to park, but there is a park admission.
Arches is all about the desert and rock formations. Expect crowds to build mid-morning so get there early to get those photos where you don't have to explain who that person is next to you!
One of America's national treasures! Most incredible experiences that you will ever have. Cannot say enough about the beauty and awe inspiring vistas (all coming from one who lives in Sedona people!) Not to say that Sedona isn't amazing and just as worthy of its own very special kind of praise because it is, but Moab/Arches is special and anyone who hesitates to see this is just plain crazy...but hey what am I saying stay home, watch the game...that way it frees up more lodging/hiking space for me!
By now, we all know that Arches is amazing.
Upon arriving, we headed straight to the end.....Devils Garden.
Landscape arch is lovely, but the hike beyond was just a bit too primitive for us older folks.
But I did climb to the top of double arch and absolutely was in heaven!!! Also really enjoyed the two Windows Arches. Across is the Turret arch, and if you climb the group of rocks in front of Turret, you get a great view of both Windows, and the entire valley.
This is our first trip and we wonder now why we waited so long. Arches has breathtaking natural wonders and hikes to fit any experience level.
