Hiking to Corona Arch should be near the top of the list for anyone visiting the Moab area. Outside of Arches National Park, Corona and Bowtie Arch are some of the most accessible and prominent arches to be found. The trail begins near the Gold Bar camping area along Potash Road, nestled tightly to the banks of the Colorado River.
Leaving the trailhead you will cross the railroad tracks and steadily make your way up on top of the slickrock benches that make up Bootlegger Canyon. There is a...

A short hike to a lovely arch with great views.
Turret Arch is a beautiful free standing arch in the Windows area of Arches NP. The views over the area are exceptional.
Follow the trail to the Windows, bearing right at the first intersection, and near the top of the ridge, leave the trail and go cross country to the Arch. There is good climbing for the kids and by going through the Arch a great view through Turret to the North Window and beyond. Also good views of the Cove of Caves and...

Breathtaking sunset hike on the rim of Islands in the Sky.

Past that, there are stairs and it turns into traversing rocky cliff edges. The width is typically at least four feet wide on the paved section and the estimated grade there is mostly gentle (all 3% or less).

The Double Arch Trail is a short loop that takes you to a massive Double O Arch rock formation in the Windows section of Arches National Park. An optional scramble at the end of the trail leads to the base of the arches. Although it is a short hike, the path is sandy. There is also a great view from the trailhead if you want to avoid hiking the entire trail. Bikes and dogs are not allowed on this trail.
To get there, you must drive just over nine miles up Main Park Road from the Visitor...

This amazing trail in Moab leads to the Windows Viewpoint, one of the park's most scenic areas. The trail features the North Window and South Window and goes past the Turret Arch. From the parking lot, visitors can see the North Window. Most of the trail is well-marked. However, there are sections with rock stairs, uneven terrain, and slopes near the base of the arches.

This canyon hike takes you to a beautiful and impressive arch known as the Morning Glory Natural Bridge. This sandstone rock formation isn't the only unique rock you'll see on the trip. This canyon trip is full of beautiful, water-sculpted sandstone. You'll be hiking through water in a few places, and there are a few creek crossings. There are also a few sections of light scrambling along this route.
