Description of how to get there: The drive is similar to all the other trailheads we have driven to along the HitRR so far. The Hole in the Rock Road is in more or less good condition and is generally easy to drive on in dry conditions. The side roads (Fortymile Road) that lead to the trailheads (Coyote Gulch TH) are usually in less good condition and you often need at least a decent amount of ground clearance on your car. Here, the road from Hole in the Rock Road to the trailhead is about 4.4mi long and was in relatively poor condition when we visited in June 2023. It was very sandy or stony in places, but would have been passable without four-wheel drive.

Description: The hike is basically very easy. If you know which way to look, you can already see the Sunset Arch from the trailhead. Therefore, you will be able to walk straight towards it. You walk on more or less firm, sandy ground, steadily downhill until you reach Sunset Arch after about 1.2mi. About 0.3mi past Sunset Arch you can also see Moonrise Arch. Sunset Arch: Länge: 12 m, Höhe: 3.6m – Moonrise Arch: Length: 30feet, height: 6feet
