Trail Overview

This route is relatively easy up and back, except for ruts and a water crossing near the end. If you decide to hike to Cox Canyon Arch itself, it is a short, moderate hike directly north from the first parking area past the gas industry equipment. If you continue to the turn-around loop at the end, there is a short hike to a spring.
