Trail Overview
Wilson Spring Arch is a good-sized natural arch. This route leads you into the Pine Nut Range. Besides the arch, you can reach sites like Pine Grove and Rockland. The trail starts following a creek bed, which is dry most of the time. After the creek bed, you climb over the hills into the next valley. As you start up the valley, you can't see the arch until you make the left turn and head the other direction. There is another unnamed arch nearby; see if you can find it.
