"Devils Garden, which contains sixty-four of the Monument's eighty-one known arches, is the largest and most complex section of the Monument. It extends along a continuous sandstone ridge, eroded into jungles of upright fins, huge amphiteaters with sinuous interconnecting passageways, and wind-gnarled monoliths. Small parks with sweetwater springs are secreted here and there, surrounded by vertical slabs of sandstone, and sometimes joined to natural "slickrock" corrals that are used by cattlemen at branding time. It is distinctly a foot and horseback region."

The Devil's Garden is extremely popular. The parking area for the trailhead is very large, and can handle large motorhomes. The Devil's Garen Trail is 7.2 miles round trip, and takes you past Landscape Arch and Double O Arch among others. The entire reef here is full of fins and odd formations.
