Delicate Arch - Arches National Park

If you only have a short time to see Moab or Arches National Park, the trail to Utah’s most famous natural attraction is what you want to take. From the trailhead, you will immediately see Wolfe Ranch, then a sign leading you to petroglyphs. Those features are best visited on the return. Past the petroglyphs, continue on the dirt trail. At about 1 mile, the dirt leads to slickrock and the trail steepens. It begins to level at 1.5 miles. The final few tenths of a mile are on a walking path chiseled into the slickrock. Fees • $10 per vehicle (park entrance fee)
