I chose the arches national park located in Utah because it is spectacular with its 2000 arches. I also chose it because one of the park’s arches named Delicate Arch is a strong american symbol drawn on the car’s plates of Utah. You can also explore the park and hike the trails to magnificent viewpoints. You can see Balanced Rock, a magnificent round stone in balance. The most impressive remains a double arch which is 45 meters high ! Arches National Park is the dream for hikers and nature lovers with its red rocks. Fell free to come !
Sincerely,
Arches National Park
With more than 2,000 natural stone arches, this landmark park offers more of these distinctive rock formations than anywhere else in the world. Wind and water, extreme temperatures, and a shifting underground salt bed sculpted the red rock over time into the area's spectacular and often delicate shapes. These arches can be large and impressive like the famous Delicate Arch, or just slivers in the sandstone.
State(s): Utah
Established: 1929

My girlfriend and I woke up in Southern California and at 5AM she asked me “Zion or Arches”? We had two friends (another queer couple) in Arches so headed there on a whim where our chosen family met us with an already set-up tent, dinner, and cold drinks. I love…
