About This Trail

The Elephant Arch trail is a short, 0.5-mile hike located in southern Utah. The trail elevates gradually with a modest gain of 7 feet. It is renowned for its views and access to the natural arch it is named after, which presents a distinctive rock formation resembling an elephant. Despite the minimal elevation change, the trail's designation as 'moderate' suggests that the terrain might be uneven or sandy, typical of the region's desert environment.
