This short, easy hike follows a loop trail to famous Mesa Arch on the east rim of the Island in the Sky mesa. Along the way are beige and pink terrain, scrub trees, a gentle climb and patches of slickrock. There are views of Aztec Butte at first, then of the Colorado River Basin when you reach the arch. You can hike the loop in either direction. The arch isn't far from the parking lot so it can get crowded, especially when people show up to take pictures at sunrise.
