The arch blends in with the hill behind it. The other arch mentioned on that sign, Double O Arch, is two miles (one way) from the parking area - although the trail beyond Landscape Arch is more primitive and strenuous.Īs you get close to Landscape Arch, you probably won’t even see it. But, Landscape Arch is just one of seven arches (and probably more unnamed ones) along the longer Devils Garden Loop, which involves 7.5 miles of hiking. It’s about one mile (one way) out to Landscape Arch, and if you hike straight back, you’ll have a two-mile trip. The hike to Landscape Arch is just part of a longer hike through Devils Garden. It was hard to believe I was in one of America’s most popular national parks, and I had it all to myself. The hike begins at the trailhead at the end of the road and immediately squeezes between some rocky cliffs and sandstone formations.Įverything was nicely frosted with snow, and the sky was still overcast. There were only a couple of other cars there, and just a few sets of footprints in the snow, so I knew I’d have the hike to Landscape Arch in winter almost entirely to myself. I ended up at the end of the road, at the north end of Arches National Park, at Devils Garden, just as the snow was turning to flurries. You can see that part of my visit on the Arches in Winter page. I enjoyed a nice drive through the park in the snow while the sky was still dim and blue. The forecast had predicted two or three hours of snow, right around sunrise, and it was exactly right. I arrived in Arches National Park before dawn.
