This is the main big arch you can see from the trailhead. To get here, follow the trail into the canyon for .6 miles to the sign labeled as „Arch Canyon Trail“. From here, you have to climb up steeply up the canyon over slick rock and a narrow rocky path. Expect some scrambling. Once you are on top, follow the cairns to a viewpoint across the arch. There is a steep path leading down for about 60 feet. Then you can hike along the ledge into the arch with breathtaking views!
