    Double Arch Canyon is located in to the northern section of San Rafael Swell (north of US 70).\u00a0 The trail head is at the mouth of a dry wash in a shaded area, rare for this area.\u00a0 From the parking area, there are two trails.\u00a0 The one straight into a vegetated area is a dead end.\u00a0 Follow the trail to the left, that parallels the cliffs of San Rafael Swell ( this is the same trail to reach Petroglyph Canyon).\u00a0 The trail will gradually round a corner and enter a dry wash.\u00a0 Cross the wash and ascend a steep hill with the wash on the right.\u00a0 The trail traverse above the wash until it makes a right turn back toward the wash.\u00a0 Keep right and follow into a box canyon.\u00a0 High on the left side of the canyon wall is a small arch that looks more like a sliver and another larger oval arch just below it.\u00a0 They are small and can easily be missed.\u00a0 The arches are also referred to as “Spirit Arch.”<\/h4>\n
