Description

Added by Hillary + Matt

Double O Arch is unique because it features two arches stacked on top of each other. This is a 4.1-mile round-trip hike that will leave you breathless!

Starting at the Devil's Garden Trailhead, this 4.1-mile looped moderate hike features flat sandy paths to narrow sandstone slabs with narrow ledges. The best time to complete this hike is early in the morning. Getting to the Devil's Garden Trailhead at sunrise will almost definitely guarantee you a parking spot and will help you beat the heat. This hike offers little sun protection and no water sources along the way so make sure you are prepared. Make sure you keep an eye out for the trail because at some points it can easily vanish.

Double O Arch Reviews

A great fun, short hike - well worth taking into account that temperatures can rise dramatically, so carrying ample water is a must! As is sunscreen!

Started up with this hike at 6:45 am this past week to hike with the sunrise. Not a soul was to be found on the trail until I headed back to my car by around 8:15. It was worth waking up early to have the whole area to myself!

This was a fun hike, albeit a windy one! Like the post said, the trail can be hard to follow at times. In particular, there is one spot near the end where you might think you need to jump down from the sandstone trail...don't! Turn right and continue walking along the sandstone. And hold on to your hat! (Literally, my friend's blew away and we never found it!)
