You may have heard of the highest concentration of natural arches in the world in Moab, but what about the second largest? That would be Rattlesnake Canyon, with its nine arches. Hike along the mesa top, even walk through a couple of the arches. Like the more famous Arches National Park, but without the crushing summertime crowds. You may see deer, mountain lion and a herd of bighorn sheep as well as bald and golden eagles.
