Stage 2 fire restrictions: open fires prohibited
Stage 2 fire restrictions are active at Arches National Park because southeastern Utah is experiencing hazardous fire conditions from prolonged drought and extremely dry vegetation. - Do not set, build, maintain, attend, or use any open fire; wood and charcoal fires are prohibited. - Petroleum- or propane-fueled stoves and grills are allowed only in designated backcountry campsites and zones, along the river corridor, and in developed campgrounds and picnic areas cleared of flammable materials for at least 3 feet. - Do not smoke except inside an enclosed vehicle, in a paved area completely devoid of nearby vegetation, or in a developed area more than 3 feet from flammables; dispose of cigarette butts in ashtrays. - Fireworks and other pyrotechnic devices are prohibited on federal public lands. - Do not grind, cut, or weld metal in areas of dry vegetation. Operate internal or external combustion engines only with a properly installed, maintained, and effective spark-arresting device. Check current park conditions before your visit.
