Arches National Park isn’t the only place to see the namesake formation. The Corona Arch Trail, just outside Moab, crosses delightful slickrock benches to reach the 140-foot-wide, 105-foot-tall partially freestanding arch. Check out this hike ›

Dead Horse Point State Park

Dead Horse Point State Park

Escape the national park crowds at Dead Horse Point State Park. Its network of trails offers equally stunning views, including the Colorado River and the La Sal, Abajo, and Henry mountains. Hike one trail, or hike them all! See the map ›
