5/9/2023 0 Comments Landscape arch trail bottom![]() I did it with a hiking pole and didn’t need to put my hands down but some people needed their hands. Make sure to take some breaks if you need to. While this is steep the rock isn’t too hard to make it up. The first obstacle between you and the upper Arches is a tenth of a mile rock scramble with grades up to 35%. Again, the trail gets more difficult from this point on so keep that in mind before proceeding.Ĭontinuing from the Landscape Arch gets much more difficult and the proof is immediate. At this point you would have gone about two miles for a total of four miles roundtrip. If you are not confident walking on rocks and with heights this would be a good place to stop. The Landscape viewing area is the end of the “Easy” section of the trail. You can’t get very close to the arch but the views from the trail and the viewing area are pretty cool. It is pretty thin at points as well which made me wonder how it actually stays up there. It stretches across 306 feet and is one of the longest stone arches in the world. To the left you head to the Landscape Arch Viewing area and past that is the the Double O loop. This is a very difficult trail that gets a little technical and I wouldn’t suggest it. As you approach the arch you will come to a bit of a junction. It is was the biggest arch I could find on the trail but the one that you couldn’t really get close to. Landscape Arch is the Grand Daddy of them all. Although you will be able to see it before hand. Once you hit the main trail you will have about a half mile to make it to Landscape Arch. After visiting Pine Tree Arch it is time to retrace your steps and head back to the main trail that you came in on.
