Named for its naturally formed ochre-hued arches, the strangely beautiful highlights of arid Arches National Park are best seen on foot or via a vehicle on a leisurely sight-seeing drive.
Hunters Canyon Trail follows a path along a canyon bottom beneath cottonwoods and through some heavy plant growth. In spring Hunters Creek flows freely creating pleasant pools along the route. About 1/2 mile in on the right side is good-sized Hunters Arch. The trail ends where heavy brush blocks the route.
