Arch Rock Details
While perhaps not as big a draw as the arches in Arches National Park, Arch Rock is nonetheless a pretty spot. The formation is about 30 feet across, and some say it resembles a brontosaurus with its thin neck. The easy Arch Rock Nature Trail weaves through large rock piles to the arch for which it is named. The trail leaves from the White Tank Campground and passes lots of other interesting boulder formations on the way to the arch.
