    Tips

    Hiking

    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.
