Natural Arch
About
Natural Arch is a natural arch in Mohave County, Arizona, within Grand Canyon National Park, managed by the National Park Service. It sits at about 2,117 feet, and the nearest town is Peach Springs, roughly 25 miles away. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show April highs around 76°F with lows near 50°F, while summer highs climb past 100°F in July and August. That station sits about 800 feet higher than the arch. As of October 2026, park-level alerts covering all of Grand Canyon National Park reported suspended overnight lodging, parkwide Stage 4 water restrictions, and inner canyon trail closures. These apply across the park rather than to the arch specifically and may change, so check current park alerts before heading out.
