Friendship Arch

Overview

This is a nice grouping of arches and cave with Friendship Arch with a Grade of A- (a hole through a rock wall), Friendship Tube has a Grade of B (a long passageway of less than 3’ diameter), and Cats Paw Arch of Grade B+ (a pillar arch with less than 6-foot-tall opening).

There is no official trail, but the path is easy to follow. You actually climb over the Friendship arch and Tube before you descend to their elevation. The descent is only ~20 to 30 feet and is not easy (maybe Class 2 scramble, but only for 20ft). The rest of the trail to the climb down part and to the arch is an easy Class 1.2 hike, although climbing from Cats Paw is a Class 2 scramble.
