Windows Loop Trail
Hike
Directions

Get ready for some of the best views for the least effort in Arches National Park. The Windows Loop is an easy, mostly flat one-mile trail that delivers you right to the base of three massive arches: the North and South Windows and the impressive Turret Arch. The main trail is wide and well-maintained, perfect for families, and starts directly from the parking area. For a slightly more adventurous route with fewer people, you can take the primitive trail back, which offers a different perspective of these incredible rock formations.
