Video Details

5: Park Avenue

The large sandstone formations are sculpted very nicely.

The layers of aged stone and the undulating peaks speaks volume of the age of the very ground i stood on.

The viewpoint in video is taken here,

It is very accessible. If you’d like to see more, theres a short hiking trail northwards between the rows of the formations.

4: Windows Section

If you’re really short on time, this is the place to be. In one location, there are these 3 big beautiful arches concentrated in this spot

Windows Arch

The windows arch has 2 arches that beautifully frames the surrounding sceneries: North Arch & South Arch

Turret Arch

The turret arch is just beside it. the visible rougher layers together with its tiny peephole arch gives it a distinctive lumpy look

Double Arch

Within the same area, we also have the double arch.

This is one of the most picturesque arch. This formation just seems beautifully alien. Did erosion really sculpt this? or…. did something else??

Getting here

This spot is located at the southeastern side of the park. All 3 arches are accessible from this same parking lot

3. Devil’s Garden

This spot is a vast area with multiple arches accessible by an extensive hiking trail.

There are numerous sandstone formations all around devil’s garden

On the way in, we were greeted by massive sandstone columns.

These are the notable spots I found:

Landscape Arch

Landscape arch, or what’s left of it is a dainty large overhang, almost like a walkable bridge. In 1990s, when tourists were hanging around here, it collapsed. The rubble there was part of the arch.

Peak somewhere along the Primitive Trail

This spot we climbed gave us a very nice central high point view of devil’s garden.

Getting There

We did not do the full trail which would be about 8 hours. We did up till this viewpoint and dropped by pine arch and tunnel arch and back

2. Fiery Furnace

Fiery furnace is like devil’s garden, but the formations are way more concentrated, making it more like a canyon. There are numerous ways to explore it. The marked trail is very easy to lose so either bring a good map and a gps or give yourself ample daylight and water to enjoy the adventure.
