About This Trail

Imported description

You can reach the rim of the canyon by hiking miles along a sandy trail. You can go through Crack in the Rock and then go to the bottom of Coyote Gulch to see the red rock cliffs. The eye of Stevens Arch is 220 feet across and 160 feet tall after crossing the mouth of the Escalante River. The views from under Stephen's are amazing. If you have to leave, you can hike back up Coyote Gulch and then head south through alternating sand and slick rock to Jacob Hamblin's Arch.
