Hiked with another family we haven't had a chance to see for a very long time. I decided to bring them out to the Goldfields since it's not a very widely known area and finding info can be tricky. Doing an out and back to the Anniversary Arch from 88 seemed like the perfect option. I had also never hiked the small section of the loop, so there was one new segment for me to do.

On the way in along the wash I spotted an owl, but wasn't able to get a picture before it flew away. We got to loop and hiked clockwise up to the arch. We sat there for 20 minutes or so while everyone checked out the views through the arch. There's not alot of room up there for 8 people, and the rock is pretty crumbly in a lot of places. We made it up and back without incident or injury.

Didn't see any other hikers until we were less than a mile from the trailhead. Weather felt a little warmer at times, but was still mainly very cool.
