Mesa Arch Trail
Round trip hike: 30 minutes; 1/2 mile loop (0.8 km)
This short relatively easy trail leads to Mesa Arch, one of the most scenic and accessible stone arches in the Island of the Sky District of Canyonlands National Park.
Mesa Arch is perched high on the canyon rim atop a 500-foot vertical drop. The arch frames spectacular views of the LaSal mountains to the northeast, and Buck Canyon 1,200 feet below. Washer Woman Arch may also be seen from the overlook.
