Partition Arch Trail Details
Partition Arch is located on the spur trail off the Devils Garden Loop, approximately 1.2 miles from the trailhead. Start on the busy main trail past Landscape Arch where the trail begins to gain elevation and become more challenging. Watch for cairns that mark the trail as you scramble up slickrock fins, past a few juniper shrubs to the crest. From the high point, the spur trail heads south (turning left) for a quarter mile before reaching Navajo Arch. Partition Arch is just a few steps beyond Navajo Arch.
