Arrive early to try and get a parking spot. By 10am on a nice day, it will be difficult to park. There is pit toilet style bathrooms at the trailhead. The hike starts out as an easy path, well maintained with some up hill sections. You will pass a trail on the right that leads to Pine Tree Arch and Tunnel Arch which is a nice side trip. Continuing on the Devils Garden Trail, you will eventually reach Landscape Arch and another side trail on the right for the Primitive Trail and one on the left to a Landscape Arch view point. Here the Devils Garden Trail changes to a more rugged trail with steep sections and uneven surfaces. Continue straight up a steep slick rock trail and the location of the former Wall Arch on the left. You will soon be on top of the &#8220;Fin&#8221; section of the hike after passing a trail on the left that goes to Navajo Arch and Partition Arch.<\/p>\n<p>Views are amazing past this point. The trail is easy to follow and when it is not, there is plenty of cairns (stacked rocks) marking the way. The final section of slick rock descends steeply and to the left you will see Double O Arch. Make your way to the arch for a nice break and return the way you game. On the return you will have beautiful views of the La Sal Mountains and the &#8220;Fins&#8221; on the left.\u00a0 In total, this out and back hike is closer to 5 miles rather than what the park service states as being 4 miles out and back.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[turbo_widget widget-prefix=text&#038;obj-class=WP_Widget_Text&#038;widget-text&#8211;title=Devil&#8217;s+Garden+Trail+is+part+of+the+below+loop+hike&#038;widget-text&#8211;text=%3C!&#8211;+BEGIN+Hiking+Project+&#8211;%3E%0A%3Ciframe+style%3D%22width%3A100%25%3B+max-width%3A1200px%3B+height%3A410px%3B%22+frameborder%3D%220%22+scrolling%3D%22no%22+src%3D%22https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hikingproject.com%2Fwidget%3Fv%3D3%26map%3D1%26type%3Dtrail%26id%3D7029639%26x%3D-11720100%26y%3D4865450%26z%3D6%22%3E%3C%2Fiframe%3E%0A%3C!&#8211;+END+Hiking+Project+&#8211;%3E&#038;widget-text&#8211;filter=false]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; The Devils Garden Trail is one of the most popular in the park.
