Corona Arch

Description

Corona Arch is one of my most favorite arches I have been to. Nestled near the Colorado River and amidst the undulating orange slick rock, this arch is certain to impress you.

From the parking lot, you will soon start to gain elevation and climb up onto a bench-like area. You will have some short scrambles and a short ladder as well. Wind back into the canyon and you will see Corona Arch in the distance.

Continue along the bench and look to the left to appreciate Bow Tie Arch. Shortly after that, you will be able to stand directly below the huge Corona Arch.
