Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

There are a few important things to keep in mind. First, the hike to get to Delicate Arch is about a mile and a half and you’ll be climbing 480 feet in total. Don’t forget you have to walk back! Make sure you bring plenty of water. A good rule of thumb is to bring one liter of water per person, per hour you’ll be hiking.

Stop 2 Pass by

Our adventure into the astounding Arches begins just before the park's entrance and visitor center. We'll see stunning natural monuments, unlikely rock formations, and alien, ancient landscapes.

Note: The tour is over 1.7 miles long, with more than 25 audio stories, and takes about 1-2 hours to complete.

Now, you may be asking yourself: What’s a ranch doing here? Did someone really live here? Yup! John Wesley Wolfe, though he probably never would’ve picked this spot if it wasn’t for a serious leg injury.
