I saw this arch from about a mile away and decided to hike up to it.   I think I was at the right spot at the right time because the sun was shining right through the arch and if I wasn’t there at that time, I doubt I would be able to tell that that as an arch.

Anyway, so I grabbed my backpack and camera and headed out!  This trail is about 0.4 one-way to the arch, so it’s really not that long and not that difficult.

Right from the beginning I saw, what I call, “cowboy glyphs”.  These were obviously created within the last 100+ years by a rancher or local.  The cowboy glyphs are initials and a depiction of a bull cow.

The canyon begins to narrow and I created my own path to get to the top of the first part on the left side.   After hiking around boulders and hiking up a ways, I began to notice some carved steps in the rock.  There isn’t a set trail for this adventure, so I just found my own and you will need to do the same.  The trail got a little steep, but honestly, it wasn’t difficult or dangerous.

I could see the arch in the distance, but I found that my direct path to the arch needed to be changed.  There was a large natural barrier that prevented me from hiking straight up to it, so I hiked around the corner and climbed about 4 ft. to the level where the arch was located.  Before that part, I a natural bridge in the middle of a dry wash.

The arch isn’t a big one, but it’s still an arch that you might enjoy seeing.  I call it Eagle Eye Arch because at a certain angle, it looks like an eagles or hawks head.   The arch has a great vantage point of the entire valley below.  It was nice to sit in the shade and enjoy the scenery.

When it was time to head back I scouted around for some rock art, but didn’t find any.
