Jeep Arch Trail

Jeep Arch is a hidden gem adventure in the Moab area. Most people skip over this hike because the arch is less spectacular than most in the area and also it's a little bit longer than other trails. The trail is sometimes hard to find so you will need to pay extra attention to cairns and the trail. Jeep Arch is an arch that vaguely looks like, well, a Jeep! There isn't much shade on this hike, so make sure to bring lots of water and food and don't hike when it's very hot outside. This hike is right next to the immensely more popular Corona Arch, and trailhead at Dragonfly Culvert. Just after the culvert you will come to a split in the trail. The right trail leads to the waterfall which is down a little ways. The left trail winds up through the canyon until Jeep Arch. The left trail quickly rises in elevation but it isn't too bad. The cairns are few and far inbetween, so make sure you download a map so you don't get too lost on this one. After a little ways you will come to the backside of Jeep Arch. The trail goes right through it and you can see better on the other side the resemblance to a Jeep. The arch is a pretty good size and it was nice to rest here for a bit and look out over the desert below. Head back on the same trail when you're done.
