Once you are on the trail, you first should take the spur to see two arches: Pine Tree Arch and Tunnel Arch which are located between the trailhead and Landscape Arch. As with many trails in Moab, you’ll have to keep your eyes open for subtle signs such as cairns, or a very small sign post with an arrow head symbol. We noticed that several people were lost as well as there were no clear signs as to where to go next. The only part where we were a bit confused as to where we should go next is when we were hiking towards Double O Arch. The trailhead is well-marked with several signs letting you know what arch or landmark is coming next. Here you will find bathrooms so make you sure you go if you need to since the hike ahead will take some time. Once you park your car, head to the entrance of the trail. Total distance:ė.9 miles (12.6 km) The Devils Garden Trail Dark Angel return via Primitive Trail:Ė.6 miles (10.6 km).Dark Angel and back via main trail: 4.9 miles (7.9 km).Trails to Navajo and Partition Arches: Add 0.8 miles (1.3 km).Double O Arch and back: 4.1 miles (6.6 km).Trails to Pine Tree and Tunnel Arches: Add 0.5 miles (0.8 km).
And yes, we were exhausted when we finally arrived back to our car. It took us around 4:30 hours to complete this trail. Tip: The trail is quite challenging as it is a 7.9 miles (12.6 kms) hike and it involves steep exposures, uneven surfaces, along with a bit of rock scrambling. Additionally, in the morning the light will be best to take pictures of most of the arches. We recommend you arrive around 7:30 am so that you don’t have trouble finding parking. Note that the parking lot of this trail can get packed very early in the morning, so plan accordingly. It’s 18 miles north of Arches Visitor Center taking approximately 45 minutes pending stops and traffic (yes, traffic – Arches is one of the most visited parks in the US). The Devils Garden Trail is located at the very end of the park road.
