Broken Arch Details

Meander through flowering meadows, sand dunes and slickrock to Broken Arch, 0.6 miles from the Sand Dune Arch parking lot. Bring your camera, water and sun protection and be inspired by this oddly shaped formation. Many feel that the spring flowers are the highlight of this hike rather than the arch itself which pales when compared to Delicate or Landscape Arch.
