Arches National Park is a US National Park in eastern Utah. The park is adjacent to the Colorado River, 4 miles north of Moab, Utah. It is home to over 2,000 natural sandstone arches, including the world-famous Delicate Arch, in addition to a variety of unique geological resources and formations. It contains the highest density of natural arches in the world.
The below picture was taken in Delicate Arch during the sunset. Don't miss the sunset at Delicate Arch. Delicate Arch is a 65-foot-tall (20 m) freestanding natural arch. It is the most widely recognized landmark in Arches National Park and is depicted on Utah license plates and on a postage stamp commemorating Utah's centennial anniversary of admission to the Union in 1996. The Olympic torch relay for the 2002 Winter Olympics passed through the arch.
There is a 4 miles round trip trail to the Delicate Arch. It would take 3-4 hours for the normal hiker to go and come back. Take plenty of water as you climb almost 800 feet of elevation.
Landscape Arch is the longest of the many natural rock arches located in the Arches National Park in Utah, United States. The arch is among many in the area known as Devil's Garden in the north area of the park.
Sand Dunes Arch
This is nice place to enjoy with family. Kids will love this place as this is cool and sandy.

I would suggest to go and complete the landscape arch first (this is at the end of the paved road), come to Sand Dunes arch, do a small hike to Windows and start hiking to Delicate arch just 2 hours before the sunset, enjoy the sunset in one of the famous landmarks in the world and come back before dark. Please take the head lamp. This will come as a handy in case if you are coming back to trail head in dark.
