Land Owner
Unofficial but well-worn trail to Ring Arch, a beautiful arch about 60ft wide and 100ft tall. Along the way is a sandy trail through an open desert, but with great views of the surrounding cliffs that give Courthouse Wash its name. Much of this trail is relatively new, but is a better route than the older trail.
Access Info
When the Upper Courthouse Wash Trail reaches the boulders at the base of the massive cliff, you will see it split. If you look straight ahead to the distant wall, you can see Ring Arch. Follow the left trail, which soon goes down and across the floodplain.
This trail is unsanctioned.
Disclaimer
Not an official trail, but very well-worn and easy to follow.
