Fun Facts

Double O Arch features two arches stacked on top of each other, with the larger arch spanning 71 feet across.

The name comes from the two distinct 'O' shaped openings that form the arch, creating a unique double arch formation.

The trail to Double O Arch is approximately 4.2 miles round trip and includes some challenging terrain, making it a rewarding adventure for hikers.

The arch is estimated to be over 65 million years old, formed by natural erosion processes over time.

This area is known for its concentration of natural arches and is one of the most popular hiking destinations in Arches National Park.

The surrounding area is home to a variety of desert plants, including the resilient Utah juniper and pinyon pine.

While the park is open year-round, the best times to visit are in the spring and fall when temperatures are milder.
