Timeline
16:24
Start the hike up Devil's Bridge Trail. The path is short but moderately difficult, so take your time to enjoy the climb and the emerging golden light on the sandstone.
17:19
Walk the final stretch to the viewpoint. You will have the largest natural sandstone arch in the area framed against the sky.
17:39
Watch the sun set toward the WSW. The light fades quickly, leaving the rocks in shadow and the sky in twilight.
18:24
Begin the descent. It is dark by the time you reach the trailhead, so use a headlamp or phone light.
Local tip
A high-clearance vehicle is recommended for the access road to the trailhead.
Check before you go
- Check the route for the trailhead access road.
- Bring a headlamp or flashlight for the walk back in the dark.
