Luxury holidays in Arches National Park

Thousands of naturally carved rocks give Utah’s Arches National Park, north of Moab, its name – yet pinnacles, fins and teetering boulders pepper its geology, too. A rust-hued expanse that blushes an even deeper red as incredible sunsets kick in, Arches is your gateway to sun-bathed hikes, camera-roll-filling lookouts, and awe-prompting days spent immersed in widescreen nature.

When to go

May, September and October bookend Utah’s summer and bring more comfortable temperatures for sightseeing.

Getting there

  • Planes

    With a handful of scheduled light aircraft flights from Phoenix and Salt Lake City weekly, Canyonlands Field Airport is the nearest runway, just 15 minutes by road from the park. Next closest is Grand Junction, around a 90-minute drive away. For international arrivals, Salt Lake City (less than four hours) or Denver (five and a half hours away) are your closest options.
  • Automobiles

    You’ll want your own set of wheels for shuttling between Moab and Arches National Park. There’s a year-round entrance fee for the park, and between April and October you’ll also need a timed (and charged) entry ticket.
