Twin Arches

Reviewed By beckslib - Chattanooga, United States

Two couples & three dogs on this hike & we all had a great time! We did 7 miles & began the hike with the quick mile hike to the arches where we explored the tops as well. We continued our loop & were continuously amazed at every turn at the beauty. It truly felt like we were transported first to out west and then to a tropical island with the rocks & fauna. We followed a gorgeous creek for a while & I think it’s the prettiest creek I’ve ever seen. A couple of notes—there are two bathrooms at the trail head, there are stairs (at least in the route we took?)that are quite steep. Someone who struggles with normal stairs might find this too challenging.

We hiked the Dome Rock House, Angel Falls Overlook and Bronco Overlook. This time of year yields lots of bugs.July 2020 so use quality bug spray especially to ward off chiggers. The Dome and Bronco trails were shorter than Angel Falls. The Falls trail presented a few barriers such as damaged or impassable bridges. We just found alternate and safe go arounds nearby. Research by using a map and even taking one with. There are few hiking signs on the trail. At one point on the Angel trail, we ran into yellow tape but no clear guidance about the alternate route. However, no need to code brown. Just eye ball a safe route around. Angel trail also had a few spots to help each other up some trail wash outs. There was also a strong ladder with a few steps to go up in a safe open area (not hanging over a cliff). Another rocky area had a rope laced around the side to use. The view at the top of Angel was well worth it for us. The overlook spot provides ample and safe room to take pictures. We ran into fellow hikers that joined up and added some good conversation on the way up. There's some water crosses along the way due to low water downhill creeks. The Dome and Bronco trails were also nice and shorter. Since this isn't Disneyland on our way back down, we had a Copperhead snake in the middle of the trail eating a frog. Awesome. We just walked around it as it continued to eat. No obstacles on the Dome trail and only a few downed trees on Bronco which were easy to walk around. At the end of Bronco, you'll find a horse tie up area. You will then barely notice a small trail leading to the overlook. There's steep rocks there but manageable if you move slow and carefully. We walked out and around the left several feet to an outcropping of stable rocks to see an amazing and quite view of the mountains and valley below. We did not see fall below due to trees but out and across was epic. These areas should provide you and yours with many life memories and hiking fun. Just pack according to make your hike safer and more enjoyable. Hydrate before and during. Bring some snacks too.
