Balanced Rock - Arches National Park, Moab, Utah - Nature's Balanced Rocks on Waymarking.com

After entering the park off Highway 191, north of the Pertified Sand Dunes view point, across from the intersection of Willow Flats Road, and just south of the turnoff for the windows section of the park, Balanced rock has it's own turn-off parking area.

The park has developed a trail, just .2 miles around this amazing rock formation for vantage points all around. This 55 foot, 3,500 ton Slick Rock boulder sits 128 feet up on a pedestal of mudstone.

It is just a matter of time before this rock falls. A companion rock, the "Chip off the Old Block" formation toppled during the winter of 1975-1976.

There is also a picnic area and pit toilets at this stop.
