Wooden Shoe Arch Overlook

The Wooden Shoe Arch Overlook at Canyonlands National Park near Moab, Utah is a short roadside stop that features views of the natural rock arch that looks like a wooden shoe.

This is not a hike but rather a short stop that requires little-to-no walking to view the Wooden Shoe Arch in Canyonlands. The Wooden Shoe Arch sits atop a long rock ridge that sits approximately 0.75-miles from the overlook. Note that if you wish to stay in your vehicle, you can certainly do so as this short walk simply leads to a different viewing area located a couple dozen feet from the parking lot along a non-accessible dirt path.
