Park Avenue Trail

Utah Sights & Attractions

Home

The first stop in Arches after climbing the road high above the visitors center is the Park Avenue Viewpoint and Trailhead. This one mile trail travels between the Courthouse Towers, ending back at the road about 1.5 miles from where you parked. If you can, have one member of your party walk up the trail for 3 minutes to the highest point, then that person goes back to shuttle the car around while the rest of the group does the one mile hike down. It's a really easy walk with no arches but dramatic walls and balanced rocks.
