What you'll see 🌄 Big views🕳️ Cave or arch

A maze of narrow sandstone passages between towering fins. There is no marked trail - route-finding is on you, and there are drop-offs, dead ends and moves that require handholds. Entry is by self-guided permit or ranger-led tour only, and both sell out well in advance.

Tips
Book the permit or the ranger tour on recreation.gov the moment your dates open. Going without a permit is a citation, and people genuinely get lost in there.
