Mid July 2022. Very nice hike with a spectacular waterfall at the end. In the summer, start early and bring plenty of water. Highly recommend this destination

Difficult approach and difficult to find, but it is mind blowing. I did not do red breaks and this is the v-road approach from the high side. The north approach will arrive on the low side with the moki steps if you want to climb in. If you do, do not do it alone.

this is only difficult in summer, when it’s like walking through a sandbox in an oven - there’s minimal elevation change but with 100° heat and no available treated water along the trail it’s a serious hazard for the unprepared and has resulted in multiple cases of heat exhaustion - in cooler weather especially after a rainfall to pack the sand, it’s much easier

Incredible. Lots of exposure to the sun. Take plenty of water. Beautiful falls. Take your swim suit.

I hiked this loop in the beginning of December and it was so pretty and also completely empty. I was the only person on the trail and pretty much had the canyons to myself. Totally unreal and beautiful. Not that difficult of a hike though, only took a a couple hours. Definitely recommend!!

Although the hike on the road isn’t exciting, there are some good views along the way. But once we reached the destination, this was such a unique feature that I had to give it 5 stars. This was so different than anything we had ever seen before and we spent a long time just sitting and staring at it. The sand inside looked very fine and appeared to have a different color than the sand in other areas nearby. Amazing!

Beautiful hike with 3 knee deep river crossings and some very challenging navigation at the end to actually get up the butte to reach the arch. The "trail" on GAIA is only a generic route, it will not direct you to the only way up the butte. My track shows how we searched and finally found the one way to ascend the butte.
