Last Tuesday I drove to the carpark by the Lee Pass TH. I walked back down the road a couple hundred yards to the Speed Limit 35 sign and headed up the very brushy drainage. Thru layers of rock I was able to get to the first arch that overlooks the road. I continued up slope but on the east side of the ridge to the saddle or pass where the second arch sits at the north end of a block. Crossing the saddle and directly beneath the Beatty Pt face I was able to hike down to the backside of that bulky arch.
I returned to the ridge and followed atop it as it curves around in the direction of the Lee Pass TH. At the top point of the ridge, I descended through less brushy terrain to the road at the yellow Falling Rocks sign and walked uphill a few yards to the car.
Primarily, a class 1, short hike with unusual rock formations encountered enroute.
