Jeep Arch is one of the most underrated dog-friendly hikes in Moab. The trail has a lot to offer including slickrock traverses, desert canyons and the star of the hike- Jeep Arch. Note, Jeep Arch is also known as Gold Bar Arch in some circles.

This is a lollipop loop hike, and I recommend hiking the loop section clockwise for the best views behind Jeep Arch. From there, you’ll scramble up to the arch and hike underneath it to complete the hike. The hike to Jeep Arch isn’t as popular as many of the other arch hikes in Moab, so it’s a good backup plan if the trailhead at Corona Arch is super busy.
