While certainly not a comprehensive list, some other interesting things to see in Arches National Park are shown in a few images here. The petroglyphs at Wolfe Ranch are believed to be Ute images. The ones below are pretty obvious. The one above leaves a little more to the imagination!
The sparse vegetation in this barren and harsh country can be intimidating to some, but having spent much of my formative youth in similar piñon-juniper country, this always seems like home to me!
Even though it is a harsh and barren environment, if you walk slowly and allow the wildlife to not be disturbed, you can often catch glimpses of critters that appear unexpected, even in the heat of the day!
The Fiery Furnace, an intriguing place to be sure, but not one I have ventured into - yet!
There has been so much damage to the ground underneath and near Landscape Arch that the NPS has fenced it off and getting the images I would like is not possible. Of course having the beautiful sunny day turn gray and overcast didn't make the job any easier.
