Trail Overview

This is a fairly easy trail assuming you have a high-clearance vehicle with AWD or 4x4. You can start the trail by turning off the main highway and passing some disbursed camping areas, before greeting the gatekeeper by the Entering Arches National Park sign. You'll pass by some arches, beautiful scenery, and end up entering Arches National Park through a back entrance. This will end within the park and on the pavement.

This is a fairly easy trail for those that have high-clearance 4x4 or AWD vehicles, assuming the roads are dry and it had not rained recently. You do cross a lot of washes, so if it recently rained check your weather apps and watch for flash floods.
