Klondike Bluffs Details
The Klondike Bluffs region of Arches National Park is a remote section accessible via a sandy road that is subject to seasonal flooding. Home of the Marching Men formation and Tower Arch, Klondike Bluffs offers the opportunity to enjoy nature's sculpture and architecture without throngs of people. There is also a Klondike Bluffs area outside of the park (on Bureau of Land Management land) that has become a mecca for mountain biking - an activity that is not allowed in Arches. There are pit toilets available at the end of the mile long Klondike Bluff Road, which starts 7.2 miles down the Salt Valley Road.
