THE KOLOB ARCH TRAIL.
Exit I-15 on exit 40 and go east on the Kolob Canyon Road, after the visitor center drive for 3.7 miles to the Lee Pass Trailhead. Park and jump on the La Verkin Creek Trail. The trail is mostly downhill for the next 7 miles. When you come the sign that says Kolob Arch to the left go to the left. The hike up the small canyon that leads to Kolob Arch is the most rugged part of the trail. The path is usually well marked, but a couple scramble points are marked with cairns. Keep in mind once you get to Kolob Arch your hike is only half way done (if you are going in and out). Returning to your car is the hard part of the trail, because now it’s all basically uphill.
Kolob Arch is not a good trail to get into hiking with. It is a great trail if you’re accustomed to long trails and varying conditions (stone, sand, inclines, declines, and stream crossing). It does offer great solitude. The views are not great until you get into Hop Valley, which is about 5.5 miles in on the hike. There are some great backpacking locations as you get deeper into the backcountry of Kolob Canyon and you can even connect over to the main section of Zion National Park. Make sure you got your permits!
