Black Arch Overlook is an amazing spot just after you leave the fin-walk section of the Devils Garden trail. From here you can see Black Arch, which is visible only as a dark outline against the red rocks below. You also get incredible panoramic views of the Devils Garden area, the rest of the park, and the surrounding, often snowcapped, mountains. This picturesque spot is also a great place to sip some water and rest before the final push to Double O Arch.

Hiking

The Devil's Garden Trail is the longest and most arched hiking trail in Arches National Park and is considered one of its main highlights. The trail is highly varied and leads through a dramatic landscape of towering sandstone "fins," requiring some climbing and a head for heights. The trail accesses the largest concentration of natural stone arches in the park. The first section is a wide, well-maintained trail and leads directly to Landscape Arch, the longest arch in North America.
