“An easy hike leading to a natural arch with a gorgeous view.”

— Jorden Stanley

Features 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.
