Mobius Arch
Mobius Arch was the second thing I sought out when I got to Alabama Hills. The parking lot was quite full, and so was the trail. I got stuck between two families hiking to the Arch, and when I got there, I had about 30 seconds of time before the families crashed in behind me. I could have waited them out, but I didn’t find the arches to be as life-altering as I thought they would be, so I just left.
What I Learned:
The various arches seem so cool when I see them on social media, but as I got there, I found it to be a “meh” experience. Maybe I’m not cut out for being an arch photographer.
On my mapping tool, this place is named Lathe Arch. Perhaps the arch was renamed?
.7 miles, 18 min, 23 ft of ascent
Hike Review:
The route is clearly marked for the most part, but there are still parts of the trail where it’s easy to get lost.
It was quite busy, so I couldn’t spend too much time at the arch.
There’s no shade, so much like Shark’s Fin, it’s hot and dry the whole way through.
