Mystery Hike to a Secret Arch

The hike will be conducted at a leisurely pace so you will have time to enjoy. Class I with no obstacles to tackle. Very little elevation gain, just a couple of relatively easy ups and downs. The entry 3/4 mile will be at about a 2 mph pace as well as the exit. Once we reach the "playground" all hikers will be able to proceed at their own chosen pace. You can even bring a frisbee or a kite if you want . . . a kite would be really fun if you have one!
The hike is close to St. George and Leeds. A 3/4 mile hike into a beautiful area where we will spend at least an hour where hikers will be able to explore. Some of the features include a small cave that I hiked to recently. There is also a very interesting arch that can be seen, but there won't be time to climb to it - not even certain if it accessible without equipment. There will be places to sit in the shade and wonderful places for selfies and photos of yourself with others - in all directions. Anyone who wants to add mileage can find lots of places to continue to walk/hike in the area. If we have time and interest we may climb a bit for a greater view of the valley below.

It will be cooler than St. George, at a higher altitude with a steady breeze. I might adjust the time so be sure and check back here periodically. It is easily accessible by most vehicles, but we will meet and carpool from the Silver Reef Museum parking lot. Meeting time at the Museum will be 7:30 a.m. We will leave immediately for the trailhead and expect to be walking no later than 8:00 after traversing a well paved dirt road winding through colorful mountains for about 5 miles.

I don't know the name of this hike or even if it has a name. If you think you have been here and think you have the name for it feel free to comment. This is a very busy week for me so I may not respond but I hope I will see your comments prior to the hike.

Please note: This hike will proceed only if 3 or more hikers in addition to the hike leader participate. Ice cold beverages at the end.
