Arches is one of my favorite National Parks!
The park is located just outside of Moab, Utah, and is 76,679 acres in area. Its highest elevation is 5,653 feet (at Elephant Butte, and its lowest elevation is 4,085 feet at the visitors center. Forty-three arches have collapsed due to erosion since 1970. The park receives 10 inches of rain a year on average.

Arches is so beautiful. There are many trails and fun adventures to come across in the dessert. The national Park also has a wonderful program for kids. The Junior Ranger Program. It is a program to teach the children about Arches History and how it was formed.
Make sure you bring plenty water and and a black umbrella for shade. You will be glad you did when you get there.
