Starting from the Corona Arch Trailhead..

Cross some railroad tracks on a well-traveled trail.

You can see Pinto Arch on the top left here - there is no official trail to get there, but cairns mark the route.

Slickrock on the Corona Arch Trail. you can see Pinto Arch on the left.



Some guide rails.

Bowtie Arch (left) and Corona Arch (right).

Some more guide rails.

A ladder. Definitely not a hike for solitude.

Bowtie and Corona Arches - both are incredible.

Looking back from the top of the ladder.

Corona Arch.




Just past Corona Arch, looking northeast out over the landscape. You can see where the railroad tracks are going on the right.

After checking out Bowtie and Corona, head through the desert (avoiding cryptobiotic soil) toward Pinto Arch.

Cairns lead the way, avoiding any scrambling.

Looking back just below Pinto Arch at the Colorado River and the Corona Arch Trailhead.
