Arches National Monument, Devil's Garden

An area of Arches to explore. 1-3 hours
The entrance to Devil's Garden gives little hint to to exciting terrain you are about to enter. After just a few turns of the trail you are fully enveloped in a land of fantastic shaped rocks and arches.
This area has designated trails, it is fine to climb on the rocks, but the park service dose not want the delicate plant life disturbed, so please stay on the trails.
The trails are a collection of loops, there are points where you can choose to circle back,or take on another section. Distances are clearly shown, so you have an idea what you are taking on.
 












As you get deeper into this section you work your way up to where you have some nice vistas back to the Rockies in Colorado.

 



From here we left the park, stopped for lunch in Green River to the west before leaving this area. You could return to Moab and explore other activties in this area. Many sports shops in town offer tours and options.
