My Two cents:

More than 800,000 visitors come to Arches National Park each year. The parks most notable feature is Delicate Arch. If you've seen a Utah State License Plate, you've seen Delicate Arch. I can't give to great of an opinion of this park as my parents and I arrived just before dusk and left once the sun set. We stopped here on a lark on our way to Rocky Mountain National Park. This park has extremely unique geographical features but perhaps the best reason to go to this park is to visit nearby Moab. Moab is a haven for mountain bikers featuring 100's of miles of slick-rock trails. Many mountain bikers consider Moab to offer the best mountain biking in the world.
