Royal Arch Creek

A rugged Grand Canyoneering route featuring a large natural bridge.

If approaching from land, Point Huitzil Trail is the most direct route to/from the arch. South Bass Trail is also an option for a much longer trip.

R1: 170’ - rock pinch, down a mostly sheer wall R2: 150’ - tree DCL, outside watercourse, mostly free hanging R3: 30’ - tree DCR, avoids pool After this there are a few downclimbs and many traverses DCL that avoid the drops in watercourse and keep you dry. One could opt to stay in water course and rig more drops, most of which are gently flowing into swimming pools.
