1-Day Timed Entry

Arches National Park Timed Entry

Provides access for one private vehicle or two motorcycles to access the main Scenic Drive in Arches and all designated parking areas along the route (if spots are available) through the main entrance.

Timed entry tickets are required from April 1 - July 6 and August 28 - October 31, 2025 to enter Arches National Park between 7 AM and 4 PM daily. If you plan to visit the park during these dates and times, you’ll need the following:

1. A timed entry ticket -- purchased in advance here on Recreation.gov.

2. Park entrance fee paid upon arrival or paid in advance OR a valid annual or lifetime pass (e.g., Annual, Senior, Access, Military, 4th Grade, or Volunteer passes) presented upon arrival. Purchase the entrance fee in advance here on Recreation.gov. 

Pro Tip: You can pay the park entrance fee when you book your timed entry ticket, all in one! Just follow the steps to get a "Site Pass." (Or, skip that if you already have an Annual or Lifetime pass or would rather pay at the park.)
