Hike
The Windows Trail, Arches National Park, Utah
View Original Description
The Windows Arches (also known as North Windows Arch & South Windows Arch) are two arches that are formed of the same sandstone fin, one of the farthest reaches of the collection that sits below Elephant Butte.
A gentle climb up a gravel trail leads to the massive North Window, South Window, and Turret Arch. Return to the parking lot via the same trail, or take the slightly longer primitive trail around the Windows by starting at South Window viewpoint. First 100 yards may be accessible to wheelchairs with assistance.
When viewed together, North and South windows are often called The Spectacles.
