Arches National Park, located near Moab, Utah, in the mid-western United States, is noted for its concentration of natural arches - about 2,000 have been located in the park's area.
The area was designated as a national park in 1971. Previously, it had been a national monument since 1929.
Among the notable features of the park are:
- Delicate Arch, a lone-standing arch which has become a symbol of Utah
- Balanced Rock, a large balancing rock
- Double Arch[?], two arches located close to each other
- Landscape arch, a very thin, long arch
