with a wood sign. While in the wash you will come to a large pot hole usually filled with water and several logs. Try not to use the logs to cross the water because they are unstable. Get a running start and run along the left side, circling to the right. Don&#8217;t stop running! This should get you around the hole. You can also skirt the right side very high if you have good hiking boots and you are comfortable using friction to scale steep slick rock.<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\">There is another tricky area as you start to cross the fin&#8217;s about 2\/3&#8217;s of the way along the trail. It is steep slick rock that you ascend diagonally. This tends to be very slippery because of dry sand that other hikers inadvertently deposit when they ascend. I had one student slip here and slide to the bottom.<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\">At the end of the primitive trail you will see Double O arch. This is a good place to stop for lunch.\u00a0 To return to the parking area, take the Devil&#8217;s Garden Trail.\u00a0 Make sure you take the side trip to Navajo Arch, it is well worth it.<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"csRow\">\n<div class=\"csColumnGap\" style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; float: left; width: 1.25%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/bluelotusadventures.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/advanced-wp-columns\/assets\/js\/plugins\/views\/img\/1x1-pixel.png\" \/><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; float: none; display: block; visibility: hidden; width: 0px; font-size: 0px; line-height: 0;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; DETAILS Directions:\u00a0 Park at the Devils Garden area and follow the trail to Landscape Arch.\u00a0 The trail turns right here.\u00a0 A small sign indicates the way Equipment: Sturdy hiking boots Camera water map snacks Hike info:\u00a0 The trail has deep sand initially.\u00a0 Follow to a dry stream bed and turn left.\u00a0 After this point [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"elementor_header_footer","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1086","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-united-states"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bluelotusadventures.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1086","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bluelotusadventures.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bluelotusadventures.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluelotusadventures.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluelotusadventures.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1086"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/bluelotusadventures.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1086\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5943,"href":"https:\/\/bluelotusadventures.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1086\/revisions\/5943"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bluelotusadventures.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1086"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluelotusadventures.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1086"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluelotusadventures.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1086"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
