Devil’s Garden (see map below, farthest north loop)
The Delicate Arch hike is the most famous (on Utah's license plate) its only three miles, but it seems father. It’s in the sun a lot but its pretty dang cool at the end. You can also go to the Delicate Arch viewpoint.
Sand Dune Arch
Starting Point: Sand Dune Arch parking area (approximately 16 miles from entrance to park)
Length: 0.4 mile (0.6 km) round trip
Time: 15 to 30 minutes
Trail leads kids through a short slot-type canyon to a secluded arch among sandstone fins where they will find sand pouring in to a natural sandbox beneath. Perfect site to have lunch and let the kids play.
