Arches National Park contains the world's largest concentration of natural stone arches. This National Park is a red, arid desert, punctuated with oddly eroded sandstone forms such as fins, pinnacles, spires, balanced rocks, and arches. The 73,000-acre region has over 2,000 of these "miracles of nature." This park is one of the more popular ones, as such it has walking/biking/horsing/ATVing/Jeeping/etc tours. It also has a scenic 40 mile driving route to see many of the famous views. This one is definitely a winner in my book, but it is also pretty far away. It is a little further north than the others, and is getting close to the eastern border.
