Diamond Fork Arch

Diamond Fork Arch

Diamond Fork Arch is only about 35 minutes away from downtown Provo.  Its google maps location is here:  Diamond Fork Arch  It is located in the Red Ledges recreation area.  When you get to the Red Ledges parking lot, you can easily see the arch from the parking lot.  You can't climb inside the arch, and I don't think you can climb on top of it, but you can stand underneath it and look up at it.

As you're driving down Highway 6, just watch for Diamond Fork Road on the left and make the turn onto the road.

This utility building is located at the intersection of Highway 6 and Diamond Fork Road.

Entering the Red Ledges parking lot - the arch is in view, it just looks like a tiny slit at first

You can see the light coming through the arch (on the far right in this photo)

The arch is easily in view from the parking area

You can eat a picnic almost directly under the arch

My daughter walking up underneath the arch.  It's easy to walk to, just a bit sandy and rocky.

I was in my Sunday best when we visited the arch -- I got plenty of red sand in my shoes!

This is the route up underneath the arch

There is plenty of exploring available in the Red Ledges area

We didn't try the different trails in Red Ledges because we weren't properly dressed, but it would be fun to explore some time.
