Arches Drive is the main road that will take you through Arches National Park in Utah. It’s about 9 miles long and curves through some of the most spectacular terrains in the US.

Along the way, you can view the famous arches for which the park is named and many other natural rock formations, wildlife, and desert plants. Several pull-offs and trailheads along the road allow exploring this National Park on foot.

The panoramas from these vantage points display the park’s stunning red rock formations, including the world-famous Delicate Arch. Travelers can also glimpse some of the park’s wildlife, including mule deer and bighorn sheep.

And besides all that, the overlooks will give you an excellent opportunity to take some pics and enjoy the quiet beauty of this fantastic place.

The ability to visit most of the National Park by driving to one of the many observation points makes it one of the most accessible national parks for seniors.
