I am excited to share with you the first of many (8) arches we visited on our Southern Utah trip.
Looking Glass Rock
Out in the wide open desert there is a rock that has a hole that you can climb up to and in side.
This hike gets a 7/10.
| Sara's Rating | Part of hike | My thoughts |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | Access to trail | Easy access, parking at the base of the arch, not too far from Wilson Arch |
| 1 | Difficulty | It is very steep (49 feet) and for someone afraid of heights it was scary |
| 1 | Views | Good views out on the the desert surrounding it |
| 1 | Destination | It was nice. We enjoyed the time there |
| 2 | Time on trial | The hike is a .5 mile climb up the rock |
To get to Looking Glass rock from Moab. Take the 191 south for 23 miles. Turn to the right on the 131 about 2 miles.

It was scary for me to be that high. You can see me holding on the the rock.
A few fun pictures up at the arch.
We also had a little photo shoot on the rock jutting out in the middle of this picture. Everyone came up with their own pose.

Looking glass rock is little known arch south of Moab that was quite enjoyable and when combined with Wilson arch makes for a great morning excursion.
