USA Dutchman’s Arch

Nice little arch that can be seen from I-70 (if you know where to look) but need a 4WD vehicle to get up close. Due to deep sand for the last half mile, you’ll likely have the area to yourself.

I arrived at around 1PM which worked out OK.

Even though the arch is only about a half mile north of Interstate 70, it’s a rather convoluted route to get there and the last half mile requires a 4 WD vehicle due to very deep pockets of sand. There are several detailed descriptions of the route online but as conditions change, the sandy track north of the interstate might also change due to blowing sand that might alter your route. When we were there, we deviated from the online directions and took the middle of three forks (labeled on GoogleMaps as “Devils Racetrack” because the sand wasn’t as deep as the other options. No facilities.
