Mesa Arch Trail

Hiking trail Moab, Utah, United States

What to expect

Mesa Arch is a magnificent arch with a spectacular view, located on the edge of a 500-foot cliff, part of a 1,200-foot drop into Buck Canyon. The trail to the arch is easy and well-marked, making it a great hike for families. However, children should be watched carefully around the arch as there is no fence to prevent a fatal fall. The arch frames views of the canyon far below and the La Sal Mountains in the distance, making it a great spot for photography, especially at sunrise. The trail is a short, 0.5-mile loop, and the hike typically takes about 30 minutes to complete. Dogs are not allowed on this trail, but service animals are permitted
