"Wolfe Ranch (car stop)" Top 5 Page for this destination Arches National Park Things to Do Tip by Trekki

Some 20 km north of the Visitor Center, the main road has a junction for the famous Delicate Arch (both view point and hiking trail). During both of my trips into Arches, I went on hiking, so turned off to the parking lot at Wolfe Ranch.

John Wesley Wolfe came to this land around 1898, to settle here for nearly 10 years. He was one of the first white settlers in this area. His log cabin seems to be well maintained by the park staff, I think, it’s even possible to peer inside.

Just off Wolfe Ranch, the trail to Delicate Arch starts and first leads over a little plank bridge.

Address: Arches NP
Directions: Turn off the main road to your right (east) approx. 20 km north of park entrance. The sign says "Delicate Arch".
