Arch
This popular 1 mile trail can be accessed from the Sand Cove trailhead parking area just off the Babylon Road, 4 miles south of its intersection with Main Street in Leeds. From the stepover at the parking area, hike the Flicker trail for 0.2 miles and follow the jeep road to the right another 0.4 miles to the primitive Sand Cove camp area. High clearance vehicles with 4WD capability can be driven right to the camp area and parked at an appropriate location. A trail sign marks the beginning of the trail which winds through a rocky drainage with fun red rock formations and a few sandy sections. About ½ mile down the trail, visitors will find a small but beautiful stand-alone arch that is a popular photo site. Another half mile will take visitors down to the Virgin River where the trail ends. A short, steep slope with deep sand immediately north of the arch can be a little challenging to some hikers returning to the parking area, especially in hot, dry summer months. Otherwise, the trail is not particularly difficult and is suitable for most families. No strollers, of course.
