Arches National Park is a U.S. National Park Service unit in UT (NPS unit code ARCH), built around the densest concentration of natural sandstone arches on Earth, with Delicate Arch as its signature feature and Moab as its base. The park recorded 1,511,740 recreation visits in 2025 and runs a 5-year mean of 1,545,566 annual visits. The busiest month is May and the quietest is January; spring peaks because summer heat makes midday hiking dangerous. No advanced timed-entry reservation is required in 2026. This page links the best-time and long-run visitation guides.
Designation, states, and coordinates come from the official NPS unit page. Annual visits and the busiest and quietest months are computed from the NPS Visitor Use Statistics Data Package, 2025 on NPS IRMA Stats. Each month's crowd label compares its five-year mean to the park's peak month. Independent site, not affiliated with the National Park Service.
