I was also glad to have someone else plan a trip for once. We headed down a dirt road with some horses in front of us. We were able to overtake them before long and make our way down various other dirt roads. David knew where he was going and we finally hit something similar to a trail. It was a dry, sandy wash. The desert really has a lot of these. From there, he was not entirely sure where we were going. Twice, we ran into dead ends before finding the correct path. We even ran into a group of three women coming back from our intended destination.
It was not long and there we were at Elephant Arch. It really looked like the head of an elephant. We took a few pictures and goofed around on the rocks. I enjoyed the rock that looked like a Mayan Temple, although no one else seemed to agree with me. Then we headed back. We had to walk in front of five people that were coming back from near the same area that we were at, but not the arch. Also, we got the pleasure of being passed by an ATV. All and all the day was good. It was about a three hour roundtrip, probably around six mile hike. A good way to spend Groundhog Day.

Hey thanks for the info on Elephant Arch. There isnt much available online about the Red Cliffs Desert Reserve. I recently found a smaller version of Delicate Arch also in the reserve. If you would like to see what I mean go to
