Past Landscape, the trail becomes much more rugged and challenging.

Navajo Arch sits on a short side trail off the Devils Garden Trail in Arches National Park. The well-marked side route begins after you ascend the large fin near Landscape Arch and will only add a mile round trip to your original journey. The arch is a low profile feature made of Entrada sandstone and sits at the mouth of a small sandy alcove. The intimate setting is unlike most of the other arches in the park
