    About

    The Rifle Arch Trail is a moderate hiking route that typically takes around 2 hours to complete. From September through November, hikers can expect to traverse a trail that is approximately 2 miles in length, with an elevation gain of several hundred feet. The trail conditions are generally well-maintained, but may be rocky and steep in some areas, requiring hikers to exercise caution. Notable features of the trail include the unique sandstone arch formation, as well as scenic views of the surrounding landscape, making it a worthwhile destination for those visiting the area during the fall season.
