Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Our se old trip to Arches was well worth it. Even though I went back to many of the same locations it was just as interesting. Knowing what I wanted to see based on my previous knowledge helped me plan my hikes and photograph locations.
Going to the Delicate Arch in the morning was a great idea to miss those huge crowds.
Everyone should go to Arches - it’s amazing!!!.

The Majestic Arch is in the Windows section and it an awesome rock formation. My only complaint is that many people in the Windows section climb in the arch which they should not do. Easy hike and right next to the Upper and Lower Windows Arches.

Turret Arch in the windows area of Arches. Sufficient parking and vault style restrooms. Easy walk to view the arch. Rocky like all the trails at Arches but easy enough for any hiker level. Beautiful arch, great photo ops from several angles and really pretty at sunset.

From far this Arch looks like a ruined castle. It has a very nice staircase that leads you to its arch. You can see the whole two arches of the Windows from this site. Amazing view or photos of the windows can be taken from Turret.

There are more interesting and unique arches in the park. Since the trail to this arch is shared with the windows, there are more visitors here because of the convenient location. If time is limited, a quick photo shoot is sufficient.

Turret Arch is an Arch on the Windows Trail. The Windows Trail is an easy hike that goes past Turret Arch and around the Windows Arches. Turret Arch has a spire (turret) that is attached to the side of the Arch. I find all of the Arches at the park amazing. Some are certainly more beautiful or unique than others, but they are all wonderful. This is an easy Arch to visit and I recommend it.

This is my third favorite arch. It has its own charm, right across the North Window and the trail is easy.

Turret Arch is the smallest of the three arches you'll see on the Windows Loop Trail. Its part of a castle-like rock formation that includes a spire (hence the name). There are two holes in this formation, one you can walk through and one high up on the rock face. The views of the North and South Window Arches from inside the Turret Arch are neat. The trail to Turret Arch is an ncline with only a few stairs.
Its 65 feet high and 35 feet wide, and still growing.
The trail up there is just .02 of a mile, but it climbs at a 5% grade for 61 feet. Its kid friendly, but heavily enough traveled so, if like me, you don't want others in your photo, go earlier, or take turns as we did. I was not aware until afterward that one was able to walk through the arch. I now wish I had done so.

The trails for North Window, South Window, and Turret Arch all connect and can be easily done together. It is beautiful and different from the other two. You can climb up into it with some effort for the full experience. Climb the hill and visit all three.

Turret Arch can be accessed by the easy Windows Trail, which is 1 mi/1.6 km roundtrip and should take 30-60 min. The trail condition is gravel and becomes rocky at the arch. There is a decent-sized parking lot at the trailhead, as well as a similarly-sized parking lot at the Double Arch trailhead.
We hiked the trail around 6pm on a chilly Friday in April and had no trouble finding a parking spot. The trail was not crowded, and there was only one other couple at the arch. We enjoyed the short and peaceful trail.
