This hike is about 10 miles North of Vernal UT. It was on my way back from Flaming Gorge. It is an OHV trail so dusty when the wind is blowing as it was today. The arch though is an interesting area. The arch is in front of a cave. The whole hike has good views of interesting Utah rock formations.
I went to the Flaming Gorge Dam visitor center and learned about a trail below the dam that follows the Green River. The trail winds down to the river and then follows the river for 7 miles. I went 3 one way. The trail keeps you right next to the river and has a few walkways to make that happen in places. A fair number of small row boats fishing. Must be a rental place that starts you at the dam and picks you up down stream.
This is a nice area. At around 7500 feet looking down on Flaming Gorge. This area is Red Canyon which has some of the steepest walls in the Flaming Gorge. I walked on the Canyon Rim Trail which goes right along one side. At the end you can look off in both directions.
This is the drive from La Verkin:
