“While the arch is hidden most of the time, there are plenty of other things to see!”

Features
Birding · Wildflowers
This is a NPS federal fee area (National Monument).
Description
The arch is visible at the beginning of the trail and then becomes hidden behind the cliffs. There are great views of volcanic rock formations, organ pipe cacti, and other desert vegetation along the trail.
The trail is well-maintained for the first 0.7 miles. The trail then continues as an unmaintained trail to the arch (not included in this GPS track) and becomes very steep, rocky, and slippery.
