Arches looks like a giant baby had some fun with play-doh. It’s a collection of dispersed formations, including several arches. The most famous is Delicate Arch, which has become a symbol of Utah. But there are many other fun formations: Balanced Rock, the Three Gossips, Park Avenue, the Windows, and Dark Angel, to name a few. Drive the wonderfully scenic drive, and make sure to get out on one of many delightful hikes to see more arches!
