About This Trail

Imported description

A short but steep downhill hike to a 50' rock arch and a shallow cave. When people think of arches in the Southwest, they think of Oregon too. The key to taking your time back is that this is a STEEP downhill hike and you have to be fit to do the hike back up to the trailhead. This is a hike that you don't want to underestimate, you should bring water, snacks, and a hiking stick, and you should take a camera. You can find a short cave in the rocks if you walk under the arch and around the cliff edge.
