Who doesn't love an easy trail, that takes you to an epic arch?...I know I do!

With this trail being right off the road, and probably a quarter mile from Elephant Arch, it's super convenient and well worth the 5-10 minute walk/hike. The trail is marked as Arrowhead Trail Historic Marker, so that's where you will park. The hike is only 0.1 miles with a slight 30 ft. gain. 

For some reason, every time I visited this park, I always skipped over this arch. I'm honestly not sure why. Maybe it had a lot to do with the fact that it was so easy to get to, and my focus was finding the other "hidden gem arches". But just recently I took the time to make the short hike to this arch...in which it didn't disappoint. What really made this shot is the framing. In one of my shots, you can see arrowhead arch that's framed from a small whole in the rock about 10-12 feet away. When I shoot landscape photography, it usually comes down to angles and perspective. 

But if I were you, I wouldn't overlook this amazing arch and make the short hike to it. Maybe you'll find a clever angle to shoot from that I didn't see!

As always, pack in what you pack out, and never stop exlploring!
