Pinto Arch, Natural sandstone arch in Grand County, Utah
The red sandstone formation stands against the desert landscape, featuring smooth curves shaped by erosion and weathering over geological periods.
Native American tribes, including the Ute and Navajo peoples, traveled through this area for centuries before European settlers arrived in the region.
Local photographers and outdoor enthusiasts gather at the arch during sunrise and sunset to capture the natural light effects on the stone.
The trail to Pinto Arch spans 2.25 miles round trip with an elevation gain of 575 feet, beginning from the parking area near Scenic Highway 279.
Green trail markers painted directly on the slickrock guide hikers across the otherwise unmarked terrain toward this pothole arch formation.
