Double Arch is a close-set pair of natural arches, one of the more known features of Arches National Park in Utah, United States. From the Double Arch parking area it is a 0.5 mile round trip to the arches. There are no guardrails or fences to prevent visitors from exploring directly beneath and through the arches. Arches National Park is a US National Park in eastern Utah. The park is located on the Colorado River 4 miles north of Moab, Utah. It is known for containing over 2,000 natural sandstone arches, including the world-famous Delicate Arch, in addition to a variety of unique geological resources and formations. Double O Arch is the second largest arch within the Devils Garden area—after Landscape Arch of course. As the name implies, there are two arches here, one large, with a span of 71 feet, stacked atop a much smaller arch with a 21-foot span. Both are part of the same sandstone fin. Double O Arch is located at the far end of the Devils Garden Primitive Loop, 1.93 miles past the Devils Garden trail head and parking lot at the north end of the Arches Entrance Road. Past Landscape, the trail becomes much more rugged and challenging. The Double O Arch is located just off the Primitive Loop Trail, near the Dark Angel Spur Trail. Dark Angel is a pillar of dark sandstone rising 150 feet above the surrounding desert. Double O is spectacular by itself, and becomes even more striking because you can see Dark Angel in the background. As this subsurface movement of salt shaped the landscape, erosion removed the younger rock layers from the surface.
