Arches national park

Arches national park is probably one of my favorite parks all over the states, it is just so unique, not too big and offers some of the most unreal views you will ever see.
if you are around Utah you should defiantly try and make it to the south east part of the state and visit this par.
The park itself is not big so even a few hours will do.
While there be sure to visit the delicate arch which is the most famous (this is the one on the Utah license plate) and it is just amazing (try to see it at the late afternoon when everything is orange just before the sun starting to set). there are 2 ways to see it - hike to the arch which takes about 3-4 hours and a shorter hike to a point view not too far away (takes less than an hour)
another thing which you should not miss is the double O arch - it is 2 arches - one on top of the other - really nice - this hike is not as easy as others, takes a few hours and involved some rocks along the way.
