KAThe best arch in Utah ⬇️🤯
💾 Save this if you’re planning a Utah road trip.
We’ve been to all five Utah National Parks (a few times now), and somehow this hike stayed off our list for way too long.
That finally changed during our last Utah road trip, when we slowed things down and spent a full month exploring all five parks.
Cassidy Arch Trail in Capitol Reef National Park completely surprised us. It might honestly be our favorite arch hike in Utah.
Here’s why 👇👇
🧗 Cassidy Arch Trail: About 3.3 miles round trip with steady elevation gain, light scrambling, and real exposure in a few sections. This is one of the only arches in Utah you can actually walk across, and the views from the top are unreal.
🥾 The trail is just as good as the payoff. Narrow canyon walls, layered rock, and constant perspective shifts keep things interesting the entire way.
📸 Standing on top of the arch really puts the scale of Capitol Reef into perspective. It feels massive from above.
A few things to know before you go 👇👇
🎒 This hike is not for everyone. If heights make you uncomfortable, some sections will feel exposed.
💧 Bring plenty of water. There is very little shade, especially once the trail opens up.
⏰ Start earlier in the day if you can. This trail heats up fast.
