About This Trail

Imported description

It's out an back trail in Arch Canyon. Two arches are located overhead at the end of the trail. The trail can be reached via any high clearance vehicle. Water depth can vary from year to year, a story that's quoted above. The first part of the swamp is muddy in order to not get muddy in the middle of the swamp. It's a good idea to beware of the deeper water, because the animals are being worked on.
