"THE WINDOWS
The Windows section is an eroded reef of ruddy Entrada Sandstone, 9 miles east of US 160 on State 93. From the highway its battlemented contour, hlaf mosque, half fuedul castle, dominates the skyline, and patches of blue show clearly through two of its arches."

Just north of Balanced Rock in Arches National Park, is the turn off for the Windows section. This is a popular spot with tourists, as there are many large arches and formations within hiking distance to see from a central point.
You will see the Parade of Elephants, Cove of Caves, Double Arch, North Window, South Window, and Turret Arch, to name a few.
