Overview

Devils Garden at the end of the main park road, 18 miles from the entrance, is a maze of sandstone fins and arches, with the highest concentration of arches in the park, including Landscape Arch. Its trailhead has a campground and an amphitheater. The fins formed as vertical cracks in thick sandstone eroded, above salt beds that once flowed and dropped away.
