If you’re looking to get off-the-beaten-path and see an arch that many visitors to Arches don’t know about, then hiking to Ring Arch. The trail to Ring Arch begins near Courthouse Wash and takes you into the backcountry of Arches to a small arch hidden in the sandstone walls. 


The majority of the trail to Ring Arch cuts across the desert. This is a popular area for climbers and canyoneers, so there are plenty of established trails to stick to. It can be easy to get turned around, so carry a map. As you approach Ring Arch you’ll hike across slickrock before making your way to the bottom of a sandstone bench. You can see Ring Arch from there, or you can scramble up onto the bench for a better view of the arch.
