We pulled off to walk around and stretch our legs on our return from the Grand Canyon heading North to Moab. This is a beautiful arch just off the highway.
Like other reviewers have said, there is no reason not to stop at this free, convenient, and beautiful arch if you are traveling the highway right by it! It is as beautiful as many arches in Arches National Park. The only downside is it is, of course, not as peaceful with its position next to a busy highway. Parking areas exist on both sides of the highway. You can choose to pull over and take a quick snapshot, or you can make a short hike up.
Outside of Arches NP but on the way up, north on the 191. Fantastic place to pull over and hike up, into the arch and take photos. Beautiful.
Fun quick stop on the way to Moab. Exciting to see our first arch on the way to the Arches! Nice place to take a photo.
Easy access as it's just a turnout on the highway with no admission fee. We got out and scrambled to the top for the view and photo op. If you're heading north this is probably the first real arch you'll encounter; going south you've probably been through Arches NP and it's one last encounter with an arch. If nothing else, worth a stop for a picture from below
like the whole park-national arches-is spectacular, beautiful, splendid. it is nice to go closer, and see through the other side-it is like big eye :)
Perfect road stop, take a break and pull over and check it out. Great photos and up close view of a real natural arch. Easy hike and easy climb up.
It is very near the road and there is a sign that gives you ample opportunity to pull over in time. The arch is massive and ther photos were fun to take although I did not walk up all of the way and I am not sure you can walk up there.
I liked that you can just pull right off the highway and hike to the arch in just a few short minutes!
Each time we go through Moab, we stop at Wilson's Arch for a picture. I've been there on two motorcycles, my husband has been there on his bike, and now we have a picture of the arch with our 4wd.
