This is a stone-faced welcome sign just after the turn from US 191 onto Arches’ entrance road, with the park name and NPS arrowhead set into the wall. It is a small arrival landmark, separate from the fee station farther along and the visitor center inside the gate. If you’re entering the park, you’ll pass it without a separate detour.
