Visitor Center

Located near the park entrance, the Arches Visitor Center houses a museum with exhibits and a bookstore operated by the Canyonlands Natural History Association. A short orientation program is shown in the auditorium on the hour and half hour. The Visitor Center is open every day of the year except Christmas.

The Visitor Center is handicapped-accessible and there is one designated accessible site in the campground. All flush and vault toilets in the park are accessible. The new Delicate Arch Viewpoint and trail area are accessible.

There are no lodging facilities, restaurants, stores or other services in the park. The town of Moab, located five miles to the south, offers all of these services.

Fees

Entrance fee of $10 per vehicle is good for seven consecutive days (walkers and cyclists are charged $5 for seven days). Camping fee is $10 per night for individual sites in summer; $5 when water is off (November through mid-March). Fees also charged for Fiery Furnace permits and guided walks.

Pets

Activities with pets are very limited at Arches. Pets are prohibited from the backcountry as well as on trails. Pets must be leashed at all times when outside a vehicle and may be walked only on roads or in parking lots. They may not be left unattended (except in a paid-for campsite in the Devils Garden campground, where they must not cause a disturbance).

For your pets' safety, do not leave them in vehicles when outside temperatures are above 650 F. They can die of heat exhaustion in a very short time.
