Description
A short, strenuous hike that has you scrambling over rock slides and boulders as well as climbing/descending numerous rock stairs. However, the view from the top and the arch itself make it all worth it. The trail has a decent elevation gain over the short distance and is definitely not just a stroll in the park.
