Wanted to take a few friends out for some arch fun and eagletail arch was settled upon. I wasn't very keen on the 10 mile out and back slog from off Centennial with a knee injury so we opted for the condensed version.
We drove out to the eagletail wilderness trailhead. I was very surprised to see 2 vehicles about a mile past the gate but no humans. Off we went approaching from the opposite direction than in the past. Excellent views from this end. Scrambled up to the arch and had a bit of fun climbing around and retraced our steps out. Perfect short hike for my recovering knees.
