Double Arch

Double Arch, Arches National Park, 2023
If you've ever seen Indian Jones and the Last Crusade, Double Arch is featured in the beginning of the movie, as is other spots in Arches National Park.  On the right of this photo is a cave that is also featured in the movie.

view of Double Arch from inside North Window.  The Parade of Elephants is also visible.

Double Arch is super fun for kids to climb around in.  When you go under the double arches, there is a cave over on the right side that my boys used to climb inside of when they were younger.  If you're going to climb, though, be sure you can get back down -- my husband had to rescue a couple of my kids who suddenly developed a fear of heights after they were up there!  This is an easy walk from the Windows Parking lot and is not really a hike.
