If you want to get a really stunning picture, rise early and come here in the dark and right before sunrise. Since it is a famous photospot, you might expect some people with tripods in the early morning. Give yourself at least half an hour from the trailhead to the arch. The trail is short, but you have to be extra careful in the dark.

A nice and entertaining circular path that goes to the eponymous rock arch. In any case, walk.

Small and beautiful hiking trail to THE photo spot in Canyonlands National Park. On the way back there are signs with explanations of the plants found here, as well as more beautiful views of the extraordinary nature.
