Hype:
The hike to Cassidy Arch in Capitol Reef National Park is a very fun, easy hike. The first part of the trail gains evelation very rapidly and has several switch-backs. Rock cairns mark the way when the trail is not visible. The trail ends at the spectacular Cassidy Arch, which is situated about 500 feet above the road and trailhead below.
Trail Condition: Class 2 (Trail may have tree roots or rocks jutting out. Navigation skills may consist of following rock cairns and choosing turns at junctions. Elevation gains may be more substantial.)
Time: 2 hours
Length: 3.1 miles round trip
Elevation Gain: 550 ft
