Auxier Ridge Overlook is a very nice ~2-mile, Class 1.3 (mostly level, well-marked trail that is over 2 miles long, out and back) trail that overlooks the Grade A+ Twin Arches. Trail starts in the Auxier Ridge Parking lot, which is at the end of the 5-mile-long, graveled, Tunnel Ridge Road. It has a very large parking lot that is almost always full every weekend, but for some reason only a single outhouse.

The total loop includes Twin Arch and is over 5 miles long, making that hike a Class 1.4. On the big loop, the last ½ mile back to Auxier Ridge trail parking lot is an old road that I drove on in the 70’s-early 80’s. I don’t know why the Park Service keeps shutting down roads, such as this one, to road to Raven’s Rock, or the general store across from Castle Arch or got rid of all of the parking spaces on Hwy 715, or got rid of the buffalo.
