Babylon Arch

Make your way to Sand Cove Campground in Google Maps to start out. Babylon Arch isn’t a very well marked trail so the campground parking lot is actually the entry point. From there you will walk on little trail to get to the actual BLM land, undeveloped campground. No potties out here so be prepared. This trail offers fun sand dunes to climb and rock scrambling options and little mini toddler sized slots that are appropriate for young children. The views are beautiful and the trail is fairly flat out to the main rock area. The actual arch can be a little tricky to find so make sure you pay close attention to how you are hiking and follow rock cairns and signs. The final descent to the arch is a steep sandy hill. Remember you have to be able to get back up it if you go down and you might be carrying a little one, so be prepared. If you don’t make it to the final arch, the trail is still fun to hike to the final descent. Look for trail signs along the way and rock cairns for directions.
