Oct 20, 2016 — This was a really great short hike, including a natural bridge over an actual creek and a bunch of other features. From the Rock Bridge trailhead, I followed the west side of the Rock Bridge Trail loop down to Swift Camp Creek, passing Creation Falls, and continuing to Rock Bridge. It was pretty impressive. Rather than just complete the loop, I continued north along Swift Camp Creek, which paralleled the creek and entered a beautiful sandstone slickrock grotto. It wasn't super obvious where to leave the trail to find Turtle Back Arch, but a social trail led up a ridge away from the creek. The arch actually ended up being pretty elusive and I passed a couple who gave up trying to find it. I stumbled on it eventually, kind of unsure how. Turtle Back Arch is a really interesting sandstone feature with a small arch at its base. I returned along Swift Camp Creek and completed the Rock Bridge Loop.
