Tips

Double Arch is the tallest arch in Arches National Park. This unique arch was formed by downward water erosion, rather than side-to-side arches like most of the other arches in the park, and allowed for two arches to share the same foundation their outer legs. This impressive feature towers above the desert floor and is a must-see if in the park. It is an extremely popular site (for good reason!), so be sure to try to get to the trailhead early.

The Double Arch consists of two arches that share the same stone as a foundation for both of their outer legs, which is unique in the park. The rock formation is shown in the movie Indiana Jones and the Last Crusades.
