The arches at Rattlesnake Canyon are fabulous and worth seeing!  That said, this is a long, hard hike with no water sources along the route.  Bring ten essentials, and at least 3 liters of water (preferably 4).  If you believe that you might not be up for this hike, I am considering offering another trip in the near future where participants would drive to the Rattlesnake Arches Trailhead, and visit the arches from there.

Meet at the Pollock Bench Trailhead in McInnis Canyons NCA at 8:00 AM.
