Resembling a sea of shapes carved out of molten fire, the Arches National Park dominates the high desert of the Colorado Plateau. With numerous sandstone arches strewn across the landscape like unflinching soldiers of a fierce natural force, the park consists of the highest density of natural arches, with the highest recorded elevation at 5,653 feet (1,723 meters) peaking at Elephant Butte. The misshapen bluffs of the Arches National Park are the result of an evaporite layer or salt bed that lies underneath the park's surface. The park's arches and spires have been birthed by the subsurface movement of salt and consistent erosion. Of the staggering number of windswept arches in the area, the famous Delicate Arch is perhaps the most evocative. Along the expanse of this amber wonderland, an eternal interplay of light and shadow persists as sunlight pierces the sandstone fins that mark the terrain.

Painted from nature's own brilliant easel, the Canyonlands National Park is a soul-stirring canvas awash in myriad colors of amber, purple and walnut. Its landscape undulates to manifest dramatic mesas, unusual arches and prominent buttes, all strewn across four distinct territories with their own set of idyllic vistas and experiences. Their names are as fascinating as their terrains, carved by the Colorado and Green River duo. From hoodoo-like formations in the Needles district, to the iconic Mesa Arch in the Island in the Sky district, to an array of other vistas that unfold across the desert, the park is streaked with earth's artistry. Amid this exceptional topography, one can also find a thriving wildlife, from 273 species of aviary creatures that circle the park, to majestic mammals like cougars and bobcats who bask under the golden sun.

Made of sandstone, the Wilson Arch is one of the most frequented natural attractions to the south of Moab.

A lot of visitors climb up and rappel down the arch or indulge in some stargazing around this unique formation.
