    Tips

    June 15, 2022

    The Arch Rock is located about 2 km from the trailhead at the Newfound Gap Road in the small valley of Styk Branch at an altitude of approx. 1,290 m. The Alum Cave Trail is fairly gentle up to the Arch Rock. After crossing the creek on a wooden bridge, one enters the Arch Rock and climbs several steps made of rocks. Beyond Arch Rock the trail ascends towards Inspiration Point.
