The portion of the full Devils Garden Loop after Double O Arch is known as The Primitive Trail; if you do the entirety of the Devils Garden Loop that includes this section, you would have completed the longest trail in Arches National Park! The Primitive Trail is fairly challenging that involves narrow ledges, steep exposures, some scrambling, and can be hard to follow at times. Despite, or perhaps because, of these challenges, this trail is an amazing, unique adventure. If running this section in the fall, spring, or summer please remember to bring at least 3 liters of water, if not more, and if traveling it in the winter, be aware that some parts may have ice. There is also a place where you might have to cross a pool of water, depending on the season and recent rainfall.
