    Tips

    February 23, 2023

    Hiking

    Grays Arch is a visually-striking, towering sandstone arch that pays off the effort made to reach it. For safety, the Forest Service recommends using only the eastern portion of the side trail to the arch before continuing on your loop (use the eastern section of #205 Grays Arch Trail as an out-and-back spur rather than as a bypass to connect to #221 Rough Trail on either side of the arch). As always in this area, sturdy footwear that offers good grip in wet conditions is a must!
