When I visited Arches National Park in 2019, I chose to visit The Windows Section of the park. The Windows Loop trail circles the North and South Window arches in that section, passing Turret Arch along the way. The terrain was mostly on stone, but there were some sandy sections as well. A bonus was seeing so many cacti in-bloom. Something that wasn’t a bonus was the ugly storm that blew through the area while I was there. It was strange because the drive in and drive out of the park were both nice and sunny.
