The Candelabrum is a striking rock formation in Arches National Park, named for its resemblance to a multi-branched candelabrum. Composed of Entrada Sandstone, it features several slender spires rising from a common base, creating a dramatic silhouette. Located near the park's Courthouse Towers area, it is easily visible from the road. The formation is best appreciated from a distance, where its full shape is clear. Hikers can approach via a short, unmarked trail for a closer view.
