We were only in the area for a few hours and a NP guide, Logan, recommended this hike because its shorter and it was getting late in the day. It was AWESOME!!!!!
Im a little afraid of heights, and we did the trail counter clockwise. Im glad because if I had seen the arches from below first, I might have been scared to walk across them.
On top of the first arch, on a very windy day, my brain saw the trees moving near the edge and it gave me a feeling that the ground was moving!
We also went to the top of the 2nd arch, and we're rewarded with gorgeous views for miles in all directions.
The pit toilets were very clean, and dare I say pleasantly scented? However there was no water, so pack sanitizer and extra water. It was 90 degrees in March!
The dirt road to the trailhead was a little busy, be careful on blind corners and keep an eye out for mules pulling wagons. Gold star if you pull over and let the dust settle before they pass you by.
I hope the rest of the park is as awe inspiring as this. We plan to cone back for a longer stay so we see more. read more
