Wilderness Area : Arches National Park

​

When did we do this hike? October 2014

​

Transportation: Parked at the Devil's Garden main lot

​

Water: Do not count on finding water on this trail. We carried all we needed.

​

Leave-No-Trace: Follow Leave No Trace principles. Carry out all trash. Do not burn or bury toilet paper or trash.

​

Flora Considerations: Stick to the trails and be on the look out for biological soil crust and try not to step on it. Its vital to the ecosystem.

​

Fauna Considerations: Watch out for snakes, lizards and scorpions.

​

Trail Specific Considerations: There is no water on this trail and near constant exposure. The path is not always clear and washes often resemble trails if you're not used to desert hiking. This challenging hike involves narrow ledges, steep exposures, uneven surfaces, rock scrambling, and few trail markers. Avoid when rock is wet or icy.  Like any wilderness trip, you accept a certain amount of risk when going on your hike. You are responsible for assessing how comfortable you feel with that risk and understanding your own physical abilities.
