Description

Added by Tyler McFall

Corona Arch Trail in Moab is a 2.3-mile out-and-back hike. The arch has gained popularity, so pan to get there early or on a weekday if you can. Corona Arch is home to this famous rope swing video. This hike gets very hot during the summer. Bring plenty of water and plan for about 2 hours!

This is an easy 2.3-mile hike to an amazing arch in Moab that ISN'T in Arches National Park. If you have every seen any “arch swing” videos this is where its done! Hangout under this massive arch without much of a crowd. This should only take a couple of hours round trip depending on hiking speed. The arch offers just about the only shade you will find on the hike, although you will have to move with the sun to keep out of it.

Even though there is a world famous video of people rope swinging off this arch, it’s still considered a low-key spot in Moab. Most people visiting spend their time at The Arches or Canyonlands so you wont run into very many people on this hike. There is just something about standing under a massive arch!

Keep in mind that this hike is extremely hot during the summer months so bring A LOT of water. On the trail, there will be waypoints along the trail to help you find your way to the arch.

Corona Arch Trail Reviews

This trail has a lot of fun features but it is crowded! You may not find a parking spot. Bring lots of water as there is almost no shade.

Fairly easy and exciting hike. It’s not too long and it is very pretty. If you’re interested to climb the ridge to get above the arch, make sure to have shoes with great traction, otherwise you’ll have a rough time getting down.

This is a great spot to get a break from the Arches crowds. Corona is great and you can stand right underneath it. The hike is pretty quick (roundtrip less than 2 hrs with stopping at the Arch) The hike is fully in the sun so be sure to pack plenty of water.
