Water Canyon Arch is high up on the cliff wall looking right as you head up canyon. Trackrunner labeled his photo as "Unique arch formation at the second drop." I presume that that arch would be deep inside the canyon somewhere. Is it hard to spot from the trail?
I wrote about two arches, Water Canyon Arch in the trail description. If start hiking and look up to the east canyon wall it is not hard to spot. Though when I took my mother there she could not find it for the life of her. I had to zoom in and take a picture to show her. One of my picture that I posted earlier looks down canyon has Water Canyon Arch high up on the (left) east cliff wall. It is hard to spot in that pic.

Tanya's website pic of Water Canyon Arch


The "unique arch formation" that I posted a close up pic is on the east wall just above the second drop (its a big drop). Arch is small, just a couple of feet. You climb the first, maybe 10ft, drop and go up the switch back. When the switch back levels out the canyon kind of slots up a little. This is where the second (bigger) drop is. Look to right (assume hiking up canyon so east wall) it’s right there.

Location of small unique arch formation is on this drop off on the east wall (arch not seen but left in pic), again pic from Tanya's website

Tanya I plagiarize from your site because everything is so good. I hope it is ok.

I am flattered, but it's good because Bo writes the trip reports and hikes with me! :2thumbs:
