Arch Canyon is located west of Blanding, Utah in the Bears Ears National Monument. About 4 miles up the canyon from Comb Wash there is towering ridge that juts out into the canyon. On the end of the ridge is a solitary monolith. Tucked away up high on the south side of this peninsula there are a number of almost inaccessible cliff dwelling type ruins that can be easily viewed from overlooks on the opposite side of the canyon. Near the trailhead there are some painted hands pictographs and a few petroglyphs.
