You used to be able to hike up under it, but in the 1970’s some people were relaxing under it when a huge slab fell off the side. The arch is one of the longest in the world stretching 306 feet, but it’s only about 11 feet thick in the center. It’s not the wildest hike in the park, but it’s really cool to see such a big arch. I would say this is definitely a hike you should do on your next trip to Arches. I would like to someday, but not that time.
We decided not to go on to Navajo or Double O Arches because the trail gets a lot harder to follow and just harder from there. Just pay a little more attention than me and you should be fine. I think most will get you back to the main trail though, so you should be fine. On the way there we found it fine, but on our way out we took some weird way that may not have actually been a trail. Most of the trail to Landscape Arch is pretty straightforward, but once we got down into the fins, closer to the arch, it’s a little confusing. As we went it got a little warmer but not warm enough to take my jacket off. There are a couple of places with small hills, but there isn’t much elevation gain on the trail. The trail is pretty easy and made up of packed dirt. We did get to see a deer from the top of the hill though, so that was cool! I’ve never really seen deer in the desert, just pronghorns. Pretty close to the beginning is the turnoff down to Pine Tree and Tunnel Arches, but we just waited at the top for my dad since I’ve seen them quite a few times. We headed straight to the Devils Garden area and got cozy because it was freezing and only early October. That way there would be a place to park and fewer people on the trail. Since the park is always super busy, we made sure to get up early and get into the park before 8 AM. I had hiked to Landscape Arch on our winter road trip, but it was a pretty gray and icky day so I wanted to go back when it was sunny and what better time than our four days in Moab! Plus, it’s just one of those bucket list worthy sights. One of the most iconic arches at Arches National Park, aside from Delicate Arch, is Landscape Arch! Have you ever read arch more in one sentence? This is the really long, skinny arch you see on the park maps that you get at the entrance. I get a small commission if you purchase through them at no extra cost to you.
How long is the hike to Landscape Arch?.
