Southeastern Utah - Glen Canyon National Recreation Area Travel Guide
Tourist Guide
![One of my favorite parks, and this is my favorite place in that park.
Double Arch is a close-set pair of natural arches, one of the more known features of Arches National Park in Utah, United States. From the Double Arch parking area it's a 0.5 mile (0.8 km) round trip to the arches.[1] There are no guardrails or fences to prevent visitors from exploring directly beneath and through the arches.
The area was used as a backdrop for the opening scene of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, in which the arches are briefly visible. However, the cave shown in the movie does not exist.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6296769/4fca9142-cd80-4c7e-8ba3-ab9a5c63de12.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh)
