Without having to drive to far from Moab. Arches National Park is the easiest to get to if you only have the weekend. Devils Garden hike at the end of the road, 18miles. is a good place to start your hike. follow the trail over the rocky terrain and along high rock-fins to Double O Arch.
TIP. go early to miss the crowds. Sunrise through the rocks. Devils garden.
The window and Double arch. There is a loop track that goes behind double arch and back to the car park.
Park Avenue. Very short with a great overview. or you can hike down the trail in the middle and end up back at the road near Courthouse towers. Delicate arch is also a nice hike and a little longer.
Balanced rock: very short walk. Sanddune arch is a nice walk that joins up with broken arch.
