See all- Tower Arch and MoreNeeds location
This is a three-part adventure. First, we'll drive 18 miles south from Thompson Springs, UT and "sneak" into the northwest corner of Arches National Park. "Sneaking in" is perfectly legal; it just means we won't have to drive all the way to Moab, wait in line, or pay. We will take a three-mile incredibly beautiful hike to the magnificent Tower Arch, the most remote arch in the park. Next, we will look for (and hopefully hike) a short trail in the same area that will lead to the Dark Angel, a 150-foot tall sandstone formation. Last, we'll drive back to Thompson Springs and a bit northeast of there and do the 1.5-mile Sego Canyon hike, where we will see pictograph and petroglyph panels from three different distinct peoples and time periods.
Total drive time is about two hours each way. Hiking 4.5-6.5 miles. The dirt roads south of Thompson Springs are mostly smooth and easy to travel as long as they're not wet.
Meet at Dinosaur Journey Museum in Fruita to organize carpooling and caravans. Bring a lunch, snacks, and water. No dogs since we'll be in the national park.
