Tips

The Delicate Arch Trailhead is where the trail to the famous Delicate Arch begins. There are bathrooms, places to sit, and some informational signs at the start of the trail by the parking lot. Because of the iconic destination, the Delicate Arch Trailhead can be a busy place at almost all hours of the day. Please plan accordingly; parking is limited and expect plenty of other people on the trails. While you can continue down the road (but please do not park on the road!) to potentially more parking at the Delicate Arch Viewpoint lot, be aware that the Delicate Arch Trail cannot be accessed from there; you would need to walk back on the road to reach the true trail to the arch.

The trail to the famous and very beautiful Delicate Arch begins, often on pure rock. Shortly after the start, you pass the historic Wolfe Ranch.

The Wolfe Ranch is right at the trailhead. It is also only a small detour to the Ute Indian Petroglyphs. Both are worth seeing on the way back. The trail itself is well signposted. It's steadily uphill. If you want a view of the Delicate Arch without the moderately difficult climb, drive past the Wolfe Ranch parking lot. At the end of the road, after a 100m level walk, you can see the Delicate Arch from below.
