Overview

This is a easy out and back trail in Moab, Utah.

Cross the railroad tracks then follow the obvious trail and green blazes along slickrock. Be sure to stay on rock and trials to avoid destroying the fragile cryptobiotic soil. There is a short climb with moki steps and a steel cable handrail to assist you. A ladder is shortly after. Dogs may struggle with this area, but many people carry them the short distance. Bowtie arch can be seen just before Corona Arch.

Please refrain from scratching anything into the rock. Vandalism of public lands and natural resources is illegal under federal law, and the potential penalties for someone who is convicted of class A misdemeanor vandalism include a fine of up to $100,000, or up to one year in jail.

Solid waste does not decompose in the desert. Please pack out your dog's waste and use wagbags (available at any gear store in town) for human waste. Pit toilets can also be found at the campsite across the road.

Roped activity (including roped climbing, rope swinging, and rappelling) is currently prohibited on Corona Arch.

Getting Started

Park at the designated parking area along Potash Road.

Taking Children

The moki steps, cable, and ladder may be difficult for young children. 9/10

    Beautiful large arch. Fairly short hike and mostly easy with one short moderate section, but with a chain to make it easy for most people.

    Let’s get the worst out of the way- NO STICKS for fetch! Also no water along the trail so I had to make due with a small puddle another canine had left their hair in. Some scrambling on the hike- the humans thought we couldn’t do it but we showed them! Also- don’t go along the rail road tracks, that’s the wrong way! Not sure what is so cool about a rock with a hole in it but the humans seemed to like it based on all the photo shoots. I’m incredibly photogenic but my best bud here Oliver would prefer to avoid the paparazzi 📸
