  • This hike is accessed from the same parking lot as Sand Dune Arch. You can see Broken Arch from the parking lot, but it is further away that it appears. The trail is relatively flat for much of it.....  more

  • Decided to view this one from a distance while visiting sand dune arch. With the crack, this may be one you hear about falling in the future. Visit it while it’s still here.

  • Cool arch that requires about a mile long hike in order to get to it. Have to walk through a lot of the grassland and then lots of sand. There is no shade in the grass land but there is some closer to the arch. Saw some lizards on the way to the arch. The arch is pretty cool for pictures.
  • I loved this one. You walk through a grass field to get to this arch and it’s nice and pretty easy. Some soft sand and rockie sections. I even saw a deer!!! The arch is huge and super cool, what a great find and kinda hidden off the road. Definitely suggest this hike!!!
  • Located within the Arches National Park you find this “BROKEN ARCH” which isn’t really broken ! It is an easy hike to get there. I suggest visiting the broken arch first and then the Sand Dune Arch which is nice and shady. Broken Arch Trail: Round Trip Distance: 2.3 miles Difficulty: Moderate Hike: loop trail Accessibility: Not wheelchair accessible
  • This was a really neat arch found on a trail with two other arches that were worthwhile visits in and of themselves. The crack/fissure in the middle made it an interesting arch to look at, but aside from Landscape Arch, no other arch I saw had me more worried that the next time I make it to Utah the arch will no longer be there. See it while you can
  • Cool arch to hike to. It's a little more than a mile (round-trip) from Sand Dune Arch, but that's far enough for this to be considerably less busy. It's pretty cool, too, that you're able to walk right up to and through it, a feature impossible for some of the arches in the park.
