Two Pines Arch
Find a parking spot on the east side fo the Zion-Mt. Carmel Tunnel. Right now there is construction going on and it will continue until at least January 2006. There are some small parking area a little farther east of the tunnel that are actualy closer to the trailhead anyway. Located the beaten path a half mile east of the Canyon Overlook parking lot on the east side of the Zion-Mt. Carmel Tunnel.
The trailhead is on the north side of the road. Look for the small wash, identified by a yellow sign that says, "Caution Delays Possible Be Prepared to Stop". Cross over to the north side of the road and drop into the wash on the east side.
Once in the bottom of the wash, hike north for 150 yards. The wash splits into two. The prominent wash veers to the northwest and a less prominent wash goes to the right in a more northerly direction. Go right (north) and soon the wash will become more apparent. Hike in the wash. Soon a small, layered dryfall is encountered. Continue up the dryfall and the wash opens up. Look to the right at the base of the cliff where the "Two Pines Arch" can be seen. The arch is surrounded by ponderosa pine trees. At about .3 miles into the hike, the route leaves the easy terrain of the wash. Steer directly up the slickrock toward the arch. The climb is moderately steep, but it is only .1 mile.
