Arches National Park charges $30 per private vehicle, valid for 7 consecutive days, or $15 per person entering by bicycle or foot, with children 15 and under free. The park contains over 2,000 documented natural stone arches, along with pinnacles, balanced rocks, and rock fins, the densest concentration of natural arches found anywhere in the world. A multi-year timed-entry reservation system that ran from 2022 through early 2026 has since ended.
Pinnacles, balanced rocks, and fins are counted separately from the arch total itself, so the combined scale of formations packed into this single park is even greater than the headline arch count alone suggests.
The timed-entry reservation requirement ran from 2022 through early 2026 and has since genuinely ended, so current visitors should check the park's latest operating updates rather than assuming an older timed-entry requirement still applies.
The vehicle fee stays valid for 7 consecutive days, genuine value for anyone planning multiple visits during a longer Moab stay, not a single-entry-only charge.
Arches National Park sits just north of Moab, Utah, in the state's southeastern red-rock desert.
Moab rewards understanding the documented scale of over 2,000 arches packed into one park, alongside the recently ended timed-entry system. Delicate Arch itself, the park's singular icon, is covered in full below.
