Best Hikes to View of Balanced Rock

Tips

  • This is one of the most iconic attractions (and photographs) in Arches National Park. It's almost 130 feet tall and easily spotted from the road.

    The word "balanced" is a bit of a misnomer: The big sandstone boulder at the top is technically still attached to the mudstone base, but the mudstone base is eroding more quickly than the sandstone.
