Tunnel Arch and Pine Tree Arch branch off from the Devil’s Garden Trail.
Devil’s Garden Trail
The hike starts from the parking lot near Devil’s Garden Campground. You will begin the hike towards Landscape Arch and take the spur trail, on the right, that leads to both Tunnel Arch and Pine Tree Arch.
Tunnel Arch
Follow the branch trail to the right to get to Tunnel Arch. It’s a bit under 1/2 mile to get here.
Pine Arch
If you follow the branch trail to the left, you will end up at Pine Arch. They are both equidistant from the split in the trail. This is a great option for a short hike. Just be warned there is little to no shade the entire hike. The path is well maintained and slopes gently up and downhill. This section of the trail is rated easy, but the heat and lack of shade make it feel more strenuous than it is.
The entire Devil’s Garden Trail is 7.2 miles and is rated hard. After our morning hikes at the Fiery Furnace, Skyline Arch and Sand Dune Arch, we were wiped out and headed back to our hotel. The next day had us visiting Canyonlands National Park and then taking Scenic Byway 24 to Torrey. As always, wishing you happy travels and fantastic adventures in this thing called life.

- Take the heat warnings seriously – 4 people died in the park in 2023 while hiking.
- Be sure to have plenty of water, sunscreen, sunglasses and proper footwear. If possible, I’d plan your visit for spring, fall or winter, to avoid the most intense heat.
- The park is large, the roads are winding, and traffic is generally slow going. Give yourself plenty of time for getting where you need to go.
