Water Canyon Arch
My second attempt to see Water Canyon Arch in the Canaan Mountain area by Hildale, Ut. The first time I went solo and got pretty dang lost. So this time I brought reinforcements, my husband Pete, who has a better sense of direction than I do. The hike is about 11 miles with 2900 feet elevation gain according to Bo and Tanya's info. Starts out on an ATV trail following Short Creek then into Squirrel Canyon. First landmark is the "Beehive"
Then up the ledges
Going up
Looking down canyon
Someone didn't fare well
Beautiful slickrock
After making our way down the rim, we finally found the arch
Brave Pete
Not so brave, Chris
Now on to the white domes with beautiful views of Zion on the way

Back down Water Canyon
With one last view of the arch, way up there

Looks like a beautiful hike.
I don't think you'd catch me walking out on that arch either.

Nice! Every time I go to water canyon, I always wondered if there was a trail to that arch. Looks way thicker than I thought it would be. :)
Your safety is not my responsibility.

Thick yes but look at it from this angle.

Nice report...and brave of both of you!
That's been on my "Plan B" list for some time; maybe next May when I visit southern Zion again.
I've also heard it called "Eye of God Arch" and really like that name.
