Balanced Rock is one of the most popular features of Arches National Park, situated in Grand County, Utah, United States.

It is one of only a few prominent features clearly visible from the road.The total height of Balanced Rock is 128 feet, with the balancing rock rising 55 feet above the base. This rock is the largest of its kind in the park, weighing approximately the same as an icebreaker ship or 27 blue whales.
