Utah - Arches NP: scenic route " Park Avenue" with (left) Three Gosips and Sheep-Rock, and in the right the Tower-of-Babel and Couthouse Rocks directly behind
From the Visitor Center, the 18-mile Scenic Drive leads into the park. Right at the beginning, the road winds up 400 feet in steep switchbacks to a flat area. The first stop is "Park Avenue". Here starts a short hiking trail with a length of one mile. This leads along huge rock formations to the stop "Courthouse Towers" and offers excellent views of the Tower of Babel, Sheep Rock and Three Gossips. Of course, you can also start the short hike from Courthouse Towers - but then the trail climbs continuously. This impressive environment makes every photographer's heart beat faster!
