About This Trail
A short, gently sloping, hard-packed trail in the Windows Section leads to the base of Double Arch, two giant arch spans joined at one end. The taller span rises about 112 feet, making it the tallest arch in the park. Visitors may scramble up the rock beneath the arches, but should plan the route carefully because climbing up is often easier than climbing back down.
