A short but sometimes technical hike (~5 miles) along primarily unmarked trails near Auxier Ridge and Double Arch. This hike features three excellent arches: Sky View, Challenger and Star Gap. Other landmarks which we've documented in this area include the Arch of Triumph, Cruise Liner Rock and Jailhouse Rock.

The trail begins at the Auxier Ridge parking area at the end of Tunnel Ridge Road. Take the road to the fenced-in loop, where you can access the gravel road toward Double Arch.

Challenger Arch is best viewed in the fall and winter, when the foliage does not interfere with visibility. Additionally, the location of Challenger Arch was, for the purpose of the map in this video, approximated and hikers should be careful to follow our directions to the arch.


Note: This video depicts only a tiny fraction of the vast wilderness around the Red River. Plan ahead to avoid dehydration, exhaustion, inclement weather, and dangerous falls. Getting lost will obviously exacerbate all the above risks.
