Windows Section

A place like no other near Arches National Park in Utah

Windows Section

Welcome to the Windows Section of the park! This area is approximately 2 square miles and is known for its magnificent arches, such as North Window, South Window, Turret Arch, and Double Arch. It’s considered one of the most picturesque parts of the park. Starting from the parking lot, there are several easy trails that will take you to all of these amazing arches. You can follow a short gravel trail (less than a mile round-trip) to reach North Window, South Window, and Turret Arch. Alternatively, you can opt for a slightly longer primitive trail (about a mile in length) that starts from the South Window viewpoint and takes you around the Windows.

Visitors who have been to the place recently enjoyed the convenient trails that are close to the parking lot. However, they did mention that there can be quite a crowd. To avoid the large number of people, it is recommended to arrive at the Windows early in the morning, preferably before 8 a.m. Another suggestion is to take the primitive trail that goes to the backside of the arches, as it offers a quieter experience away from the crowds.
