Very nice park with beautiful vistas and lovely arches. It was so busy it was difficult to park at the lookout areas. Washrooms are available but not clean, at least the one we used.

Friends have told me for many years that I need to visit the Utah National Parks. Arches usually was mention as the premier park to see. It was gorgeous and has hikes fr every level of fitness. The land features are never-ending. We went in mid September and the temps were moderate (80 to 50 Fahrenheit for high/low). Crowd size was also reasonable.
We spent most of the day here with our nearly 4 year old. Plenty of shorter and easier hiking options and lots of viewing spots along the road. He loved running and climbing small hills where available. We loved the easy access to beauty. Go early!
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!
