Add to My List Check Off

Arch Canyon is a 12 mile long box canyon. The canyon has beautiful redrock walls, and it is possible to view several arches. The creek that runs along the bottom of the canyon normally has water. All water should be treated before drinking. Look along the canyon walls for hanging gardens. You might also spot some cliff dwellings. Please remember to treat these special places with respect. The access at the mouth of Arch Canyon is Ute tribal land. Please respect this private property and observe all posted signs. Arch Canyon is open to motorized and mechanized access; however, all vehicles must stay on designated routes. Please be considerate of other trail users with whom you may share this route. From the Kane Gulch Ranger Station, drive 4 miles north to U-95, then east (right) for 13.5 mile. If you are traveling west on U-95 from Blanding, turn north on the Comb Wash Road, CR D2117, (a dirt road approximately 1 mile west of Comb Ridge, 14 miles west of U.S highway 95 and U.S. Highway 191 junction). The mouth of Arch Canyon is 2.5 miles up the dirt road.
