This out-and-back trail is 1.8 miles. However, if you want a hike that will challenge you, don’t let the short distance keep you away.

The Brumley Arch Trail is quite difficult. On this trail, you will take a steep descent into the canyon of Brumley Creek. About halfway through your trek, you’ll come to a small creek and groves of aspens and evergreens. It feels a bit like a fairytale.

Make sure you are always ready because before you know it, you’ll start climbing back up. The trail may be short, but you’ll certainly get your exercise.

To reach the arch and the waterfall, there is a small gate you will enter. You’ll find this gate at the top of the ridge you will climb. Keep your eyes open as this gate can be easy to miss.
On the other side of the gate, and after a short climb, is the stunning Brumley Arch. This arch is tucked away, yet still large and gorgeous. It is worth every step.

Near the arch is a stunning waterfall. This is a beautiful place to enjoy the flowing water and experience peace and quiet. Bromley Arch isn’t a busy trail in Utah and is a great place to avoid the crowds that are found at nearby national parks.
