Delicate Arch Trail

This moderately strenuous trail begins near the Wolfe Ranch
cabin, crosses a bridge over Salt Wash, and continues up the
long stretch of open slickrock to Delicate Arch. The trail also
winds through an area full of chert - a hard, shiny rock
used by Native Americans for tools and weapons - and
around a short ledge, hugging a steep cliff.
