Natural Arch
About
Natural Arch is a natural arch in Yuma County, Arizona, sitting at about 2,182 feet within Kofa National Wildlife Refuge. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service manages the refuge, and the nearest town is La Paz Valley, about 24 miles away. Winter and early spring are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from the nearby Kofa Mine weather station show January highs around 67°F with lows near 49°F, while summer highs climb past 100°F from June through August. That station sits a few hundred feet lower than the arch, so temperatures at the arch run a little cooler. For more time on foot in the area, Signal Peak Trail is about 7 miles away and Palm Canyon Trail is about 9 miles away.
