“An easy hike leading to a natural arch with a gorgeous view.”
— Jorden StanleyFeatures Views
Family Friendly An easy trail with a beautiful view of the area.
Description
Park at the designated area and follow the well-trodden, but unimposing and undemanding trail. The short hike leads to a gorgeous low angle natural arch that frames the valley below it beautifully. If possible, try to catch the view for sunrise when the light catches the red rocks wonderfully.

Beautiful arch overlooking a breathtaking canyon. One of the best sights we've seen in Arches and Canyonlands National Parks!

Cool view of the Canyonlands. Perfect short hike to take in the view. McKayla, Cam, and I had fun walking along the arch.

Short hike leading a another iconic arch in Utah in the Island of the Sky district. Bring your camera and time the sunrise. Great family hike.

The trail itself is nothing special... but Mesa Arch itself is something else!

Stunning sunrise, a bit spoiled by a ridiculous amount of people even at 6AM.
