From there it follows a gradual uphill course that takes it to the Third Flats Road about 6 tenths of a mile from the trailhead. A loop that is just under 3 miles can be created by combining the first mile and a half of the Twist-n-Shout trail with Nut-N-2-It and the Third Flats Road.

Arrowhead Arch is located in the San Rafael Swell between Hanksville and Green River, Utah. The arch is tucked away in a side canyon between Temple Wash and North Temple Wash. We stumbled upon the arch while exploring the canyon. While the arch doesn't show up on our list of San Rafael Arches we dubbed it anyway in order to point it out as an interesting feature of an unnamed canyon.

North Temple Wash is a narrow canyon near Temple Mountain in the San Rafael Swell between Hanksville and Green River, Utah. High clearance 4x4 vehicles can drive all the way through the wash but those that are interested in seeing various arches and some of the rock art within the wash will have better luck on foot.
