About of ARCH NATIONAL PARK
Utah - Arches National Park
An illustrated guide to area attractions.
| UTAH | Arches National Park Sites in Utah NPS Units Arches Other Places Arches National Park is of course famous for the red arches of Entrada sandstone that occur there in great profusion, and the visitor centre sells a map showing the location of over 1, 000, ranging in size from Landscape Arch with an 89 metre span to small cavities 3 feet across, which is the minimum dimension for an opening to be officially classified as an arch
But there are also many other striking rock formations scattered over the park's 73, 000 scenic acres, and to see the whole area would take several days
As with most other low lying regions in south Utah, temperatures in Arches National Park may reach 110°F which restricts hiking activities, although summer brings frequent cooling afternoon thunderstorms
Moab: The park entrance is on US 191, 20 miles south of I-70 and just north of Moab , the biggest town in southeast Utah and a provider of every necessary facility, especially motels and mountain bike shops
This settlement, once a base for the uranium mining industry, is now a major center for recreation and is close to several National Park areas including and as well as Arches, and is a starting point for many boat trips down the Colorado River
Utah - Capitol Reef National Park
Visitors guide and photographs.
| UTAH | Capitol Reef National Park Sites in Utah NPS Units Capitol Reef Other Places The Waterpocket Fold is a straight, 100 mile long ridge of tilted and layered rock stretching from the Fishlake Mountains in central Utah to in the south
Most is preserved in Capitol Reef National Park , which contains multicoloured cliffs, narrow canyons, ridges, arches, spires and domes
The park, the second largest in the state, is much less visited than others in south Utah, partly due to the rather remote location and perhaps because there is no obvious central attraction
The main road (UT 24) crossing the park east-west gives a flavour of the area and passes close to several of the most famous named features, such as the deep twisting canyon formed by Sulphur Creek and, a natural arch created by erosion
- more details of other areas of the park and surrounding countryside - 12 views of the park - view along the scenic drive, near Capitol Gorge - impressive natural bridge high above the Fremont River - 6 views along the Hickman Bridge trail - introduction to the narrow canyons of Capitol Reef, including Grand Wash - map of the National Park Fruita: Near the visitor centre is the site of the former Mormon colony of Fruita , established in the 1870s - the good climate of this area and the fertile soil around the Fremont River allowed for successful orchards to be established

Which leaves American auto technology, umm..., 20 years behind Japanese? Dragging myself to the Parks The next morning brought an unbelievable surprise: snow atop the mountains that seem to encircle Salt Lake City, so unlike the dull grey hills of the north-east
I wanted badly to get to Dead Horse Point State Park before sunset, and I'd already spent considerable time along the way
Dead Horse Point State Park Dead Horse's reputation among photographers, situated as it is within hailing distance of two Grand Prix circuit National Parks, Arches and Canyonlands, is not unfounded
The next morning I had the park to myself as the sun's rays lit up successive strata of red rock, till a father(50+) and son(20+) pair joined me an hour or so after sunrise
They told me not to miss Route 128 off Moab, and recommended the Fairyland trail if I was planning on Bryce National Park
