Fun time with family, be sure and take water and sunscreen. It gets really warm fast in the summers, so we found starting early in the morning and finishing mid afternoon provided for a better experience.

One of the more spectacular arches in the park, it is well worth the walk down the track to get close to this structure. It only takes about 20-30 minuites, and is the only way you can truly appreciate the sheer scale of it.

This arch is beautifully complex and a sight to see. Relatively easy walk to it with nearby parking.

You can see this arch from the parking area, but I hope you will get out of the car for a closer look--it is even more amazing close-up! The trail to Double Arch seemed so much shorter in the Spring than how I remember it in the heat of Summer! Hit the trails early! This arch is another favorite of... More

This arch is not mentioned among the famous delicate Arch and Windows in which Arches National Park is known for but it is worth checking out. It’s a short mild walk out to the Double Arch and once arriving you will grow to appreciate its unique beauty. Also, if you have kiddos this are will give them more of a... More

It's such a short hike, you might aswell go & do it! It's a massive double arch which is hard to photograph, but cool to walk under & around. Not to be confused with Double O arch which requires a longer trickier hike. Double Arch is in the Windows section, a 5 minute hike away from the carpark.

There are two arches with the word "double" in their names. Double O Arch is a long, strenuous hike beyond Landscape Arch that requires lots of effort and plenty of water to reach. Double Arch - this one - is located in the Windows section on the opposite side of the parking lot from Turret Arch and The Windows. A... More

This is a popular spot in Arches NP. You can see it from the road or hike up to it. We are regular visitors.

First of all, please note that the description of this attraction is NOT correct. The arch is located close to the parking lot near the windows section and does NOT require a 4.2 mile hike through challenging terrain! You can make a short walk to the arches and you can even climb up a little bit to sit in a... More

In my opinion, this is the most unusual, engrossing arch (set of arches) in the park. These partners are gigantic and photographic, and you walk under the first one and climb up right under the second one. Be careful though, it's straight off on the other side, but the view is striking. If you aren't experienced at climbing, the final... More
