There is a somewhat significant elevation gain of 1,857 feet. If you enjoy pretty scenery you will not be disappointed on this hike. The Horseshoe Canyon Trail allows you to see various local flora. Veteran visitors report there are some beautiful wildflowers found there.
11Hike to the Broken Bow Arch
Next on our list of Southern Utah hikes is the Kane County-centered Southern Utah hike to Broken Bow Arch. This is a hike of 6.28 miles out and back. It includes an elevation of 732 feet.
The arch was named by an early explorer here who discovered pieces of a broken Indigenous bow at the arch. The hike to this huge sandstone arch located in Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument begins at the Willow Gulch Trailhead off of Hole in the Rock Road. Most of this hike takes place in a striking sandstone canyon. You’ll probably find comparatively few other people hiking here. Dogs are permitted but must be on a leash.
