Sorry! We don't have any recommendations for Arches National Park right now.
Because most people come to Arches to play outside, casual trekking-wear rules—sandals, shorts, and T-shirts in the very hot summers. Whether you select an award-winning Continental restaurant in Moab, a nearby resort, or the tavern in Green River, you can dress comfortably in shorts or jeans. But don't let the relaxed attire fool you. There are some wonderful culinary surprises waiting for you, a few with spectacular views as a bonus.
In the park itself, there are no dining facilities and no snack bars. Supermarkets, bakeries, and delis in downtown Moab will be happy to make you food to go. If you bring a packed lunch, there are several picnic areas from which to choose.
Looming high over Moab, this cliffside home of former uranium kingpin Charlie Steen offers gorgeous views of the Colorado River and surrounding red rocks, especially at sunset. The traditional American fare—including filet mignon, prime rib, pasta dishes and house-made desserts—is classic and upscale, making for the kind of place people take their parents for a fancy night out. Call ahead for reservations during the busy season.
