Fallen arch

[trackrunner]

I think most people.. me included would have thought that Landscape Arch would have fell way before the others.

Yes I thought the same. I understand that some geologist now think after the 1991 partial collapse that Landscape are is more stable not less stable as originaly thought. Hence it hasn't collapsed.

I recall that the trail is deep between fins at that point. The last time I was there was the day after we got married. Abby and I will think about hiking back there in October to see how it ends up being routed. -R

I've been there several times. Here was my last trip and a photo taken December 10 2006:

What ended up being the final outcome on this? Is the Devil's Garden Trail open again, and/or did they move the trail at all? -Richard

The Devils Garden Trail is open. I haven't gotten up there yet but the Ranger at the VC showed me a photo array of the new section which bypassaes the rubble that was Wall Arch by ascending a fin to the left. As you come down off of the fin you rejoin the old trail.
