Visiting  Arches National Park in February

Arches in the winter is one of our favorite times to go. You can explore the park without the crowds, and you avoid the heat of summer. It’s an amazing time to experience the quiet and serenity at Arches!

The average highs are near 50 degrees with the lows in the mid 20s. Keep in mind that Arches National Park is located at 5,653 feet above sea level so it’s cold in the winter, even if the sun is out.
