Fleshy tourons may be content with the near-driveup viewing point to the south, but hike this easy 3-mi out-and-back and you'll be rewarded with an up-close-and-personal encounter with Utah's iconic landform. Best avoided in summer, unless you feel the need for company. TO TRAILHEAD: From the Arches National Park Entrance on US-191 north of Moab, drive 11.8-mi N and turn R @ the sign. Trailhead is 2.2-mi on the L.
