Double Arch Trail Description
Double Arch begins in the parking area just down the slope from The Windows Trail. Follow the trail through the desert brush over the easy 0.3 mile hike, Double Arch easily visible from the trailhead as the destination. Once at the arch, climbing into the arch is optional. It can either be enjoyed from the end of the trail or by climbing up the rocks below the arches. Once you’re done admiring the scenery, head back out the same way you came in.
