Most of Arches National Park consists of "short" two-three mile trails of desert that lead you to magnificent vistas. However, some are so steep that it can take a whole day to do just one "short" trail. This was one of my favorites, having many a labyrinth of trails within each fin that revealed more and more wonders. Some labyrinths are so complicated, that they are only accessible if accompanied by a trained, park guide.
