Sand Dune Arch, Broken Arch, & Tower Arch

About

Alright my friends, hope you enjoyed our small period of rest. Because coming up, we’ve got some good arches just waiting to be explored.      

First one up is the Sand Dune Arch.   It’s  a short ⅓ mile walk to the arch, which is caught in a slot canyon between two fins. It’s surrounded by fine orange-colored sand that kids and the young at heart will love to play in. You’ll almost feel like you are at a beach. … well… kinda….

From the same trailhead you can continue to Broken Arch. about 2 miles round trip, this easy hike is usually less busy than others in the park. Although it’s called Broken Arch, it’s actually not broken at all. Well, sort of, it just has a big crack through the top. So maybe “Cracked Arch” would be a better name? You think so?
