This natural formation is about 30 feet across. The hike to get to the arch is pretty easy - about five minutes from the nearby campgrounds. Watch out for the plants on the path - many of them are thorny! If you can plan your visit for a moonless night, you'll be treated to a star-studded sky stretching across the vast landscape.

The margins of Johnson Valley have only been partially developed. As a result, it is home to many indigenous Mojave Desert plants. Among the constituents of this Creosote Bush Scrub biome is a small wildflower with attractive white blooms which wilt to pink, known commonly as Tufted Evening Primrose and botanically as Oenothera Caespitosa. They can be visualized here as an especially wet winter recedes under springs warming caress. Long may the area be a respected habitat for native ecology.
Although Pioneertown is higher in elevation than some of the surrouding settlements to the south east, it still remains an environment fit for many species of the Mojave Desert. One such flagship constituent is the Joshua Tree (Yucca Brevifolia). Here, in the semi developed margins, they can be visualized in preparation to flower after an especially wet winter. Long may the area remain a respected habitat for native ecology.
