Enjoy the beautiful flowers at Arches National Park.
Please help us protect the flowers by staying on trails, rocks, or in washes.
Biological soil crust (cryptobiotic crust) lives everywhere on the sand
and it is critical for plant life in the park. Stepping on sand anywhere off
a trail destroys this crust. Collection of plants is prohibited.

The duration of the flowering season depends on precipitation and
varies from year to year.
