Summary

Description
  1. mypubliclandsroadtrip today hikes to Corona and Bowtie Arches near Moab, Utah. The roadtrip heads a mile and a half up Bootlegger Canyon to the sandstone Corona and Bowtie Arches. The short hike to the arches includes a pass by a large cairn garden, moki steps, and a short ladder climb that rewards with the first sight of the arches.

Bowtie and Corona Arches greet hikers with unusual form and incredible views! Notice the reddish-black coating on the exposed rock. This coating–called a desert varnish–is a result of clay and other particles cementing to the rock surface. Manganese gives the rock its black-color and iron creates the reddish tone. It takes thousands of years to make desert varnish, so tread lightly when coming in contact with the rock surface.
