While everyone is racing to see the North and South Windows arches, keep going around to the other side of the loop to park. While the Windows are packed with people, the double arches won't look like much, but you can walk right up to them easily, get great pictures, and have it all to yourself. It is the third largest arch in the park, with three major openings side by side. The openings began as one pothole arch, a depression near the cliff face, which eventually is eroded by water. The main opening is approximately 112 feet high. It is an easy walk on slickrock and sand.
