USA Park Avenue

The short one mile (1.6km) trail that begins at the Park Avenue Trailhead leads north where it meets Arches Scenic Drive again. Along the way, you’ll get different perspectives of the massive wall of sandstone fins, giant boulders strewn around the floor of the canyon, the cluster of monoliths called “Three Gossips”, and “The Organ”. The vast majority of visitors just walk 100 feet from the Park Avenue trailhead to the overlook. They’re missing out on one of my favorite strolls in the park.

This shot was taken from the trail looking south toward the Park Avenue trailhead about 3/4 mile from the trailhead or 1/4 mile from Arches Scenic Drive. The sandstone monolith in the background is actually the end of the long fin at the end of the “Park Avenue” wall.

Drive 2.2 miles from the park entrance to the Park Avenue Trailhead. Walk north along the trail about 3/4 mile.
