Arch Creek Park

When you get to the park, open your quest and we'll guide you through one step at a time. Do them in any order, across as many visits as you like — anything you tick is saved.

• Walking

  Walk the trail to the natural bridge, cross the creek area and follow the loop back through the hammock.

  0.6 mile loop · about 25 min · Dirt path and boardwalk, some rock steps, mostly shaded.

• Adventure

  Photograph the natural limestone bridge from below the creek bank.

  0.2 mile to the bridge · about 10 min · Rock can be slippery — stay on the marked footing.

• Live More

  Stand at the creek and think about the people who crossed here long before the road existed.

  At the bridge · about 5 min · Shaded overlook.

• Movement

  Walk the loop twice, taking the rock steps slowly and deliberately.

  1.2 miles total · about 35 min · Uneven rock in places; hold the rail.

• Together

  Visit the museum together and each pick one object to tell the other about.

  Inside the museum · about 20 min · Indoors and accessible when the museum is open.

• Bonus · optional

  Bonus: photograph the creek from two different heights — bank level and up on the trail.

  0.3 mile · about 15 min · Two clear vantage points on the loop.
