Found in Utah’s Arches National Park, this is a beautiful hike that will take you straight out to the iconic Delicate Arch.
Just driving or, if you choose, biking out to the trailhead is pretty magical. With a dearth of trees, being in the wide open west, there is little obstruction to view all these natural sculptures throughout the park. However, it is so much better to get out and walk through this landscape on your own.
Once I had spent some time out by delicate arch, the dark clouds of a storm were seen propelling toward us from a distance. There is not much in the way of tree cover on this trail. So, as the storm hit, I turned into a trail runner and booked it back to the trailhead and parking lot.
Just north of Moab, Utah, Arches National Park is really unbelievable. Many of Southern Utah’s National Parks are special and this one is no exception. You can start the hike off at the Wolfe Ranch parking lot and you won’t be disappointed. View a trail map.
