Top places to visit

1. Balanced Rock

You may experience a sense of vertigo when looking at Balanced Rock, which seems at once eternal and always on the verge of crashing down onto the rocks below. Formed over millions of years, Balanced Rock reaches 128 feet (39 meters) in height and was once concealed within the cliff of Dewey Bridge mudstone that still forms its pedestal. As some of the mudstone wore away, Balanced Rock emerged, becoming more precipitous over time. Visit this natural marvel, one of the few attractions within Arches National Park that you can see easily from the road.

4. Fiery Furnace Viewpoint

Drive to Fiery Furnace Viewpoint in Arches National Park and walk from the parking area to the vista point in 0.1 mile (0.2 kilometer). Alternatively don your hiking boots and join a ranger-guided hike through the sandstone labyrinth of fins, spires and arches. The sudden dead ends and narrow, twisting corridors of this sandstone attraction will have you scratching your head, so the only way to explore is via a ranger-led hike. Guided hikes also ensure that visitors stay off the protected native plants and soil.
