Long and sandy wide path between the sandstone for most of the hike. Only climbs at the end, but everyone really loves the Druid Arch. Very unique rock formation.

      Awesome arch. Worth the long hike. Much of the hike is up a wash and the “trail” is less than spectacular but there are always great views and wonderful canyon features. The scramble at the end up to the arch tops off the adventure.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
