"...The butte is 300 feet high, and the Entrada formation and its Carmel base are plainly discernible. A short distance beyond is SOUTH WINDOW, 65 feet high and 130 feet long, and hard by, its companion, NORTH WINDOW, of like size. Both are less smoothly sculptured than Double Arch, but both are imposing in size and regularity, and frame imposing desert vistas."

--- Utah. A Guide to the State, 1941

To get to the North Window, park at the Windows Section parking area. Walk to the South Window and follow the trail around behind the South Window, and you will come to the equally impressive North Window. The trail then continues around and brings you back to the parking lot.
