Eagle Canyon Arch
About
Eagle Canyon Arch is a natural arch in Utah on Bureau of Land Management land within the Price Field Office. The nearest town is Emery, about 23 miles away. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to visit. At the nearby Ferron weather station, typical May highs reach about 71°F with lows near 45°F, and September averages about 78°F by day and 49°F at night. That station sits roughly 830 feet lower than the arch, so temperatures at the arch typically run a bit cooler. The Swasey Cabin Trail starts less than half a mile away, and the Swaseyland climbing area is about 1.3 miles off. The Eagle Canyon Trail, about 2.8 miles away, and the Upper Eagle Canyon Trail, about 3.1 miles away, offer more hiking in the same area.
