Description

The big highlight of everyone's trip to Arches! Did we mention "everyone"?!? It really is spectacular, but try to come early in the morning (best) or in the evening. It's a short hike, so most people can enjoy the sunset and still hike out before dark.

Short Run: The Delicate Arch Trail is 1.5 miles each way.

Muddy, Snowy, Icy - Poles and spikes were essential. Beautiful trail. Several river crossings but others have places rocks to help cross easily without getting wet.
