| Obverse description | The obverse presents a left-facing portrait bust of George Washington, first President of the United States (1789–1797), based on John Flanagan's classic 1932 design and updated by William Cousins. The legend LIBERTY arcs above the effigy, while IN GOD WE TRUST appears to the left in the field. The denomination QUARTER DOLLAR is inscribed along the lower rim, flanked by the engravers' initials JF and WC, with the mint mark positioned to the right of Washington's ribbon. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA curves along the upper periphery. |

| Additional information |
The Arches quarter was the third of five releases in 2014 under the America the Beautiful Quarters Program, which Congress authorized in 2008 to run through 2021 — a deliberate revival of the 50 State Quarters format that had driven massive civilian hoarding and effectively removed billions of coins from circulation. Arches National Park in Utah was established as a national monument by President Hoover in 1929 and elevated to park status in 1971, partly in response to surging tourism pressure on the Colorado Plateau.
Philadelphia and Denver produced the circulation strikes; San Francisco struck collector-only proofs in both clad and 90% silver.
