Arches National Park is a national park in Utah. It is noted for having over 2,000 natural sandstone arches, including the world-famous Delicate Arch. In addition, Arches National Park has a variety of unique rock formations.
Arches National Park is located near Moab, Utah, and covers an area of 119 square miles (309 sq km). It ranges in elevation from 4,085 feet (1,245m) to 5,653 feet (1,723 m) at Elephant Butte.
