The arch is named after Gerard Vultee, a prominent aircraft designer who tragically died in a plane crash in the area in 1938.
The arch rises approximately 50 feet above the ground, offering a stunning natural spectacle.
The arch is accessible via a moderate 3.6-mile round-trip hike on the Vultee Arch Trail, which is part of the Coconino National Forest.
The arch is carved from the red sandstone characteristic of the Sedona area, shaped by years of erosion.
Hikers may spot various wildlife, including mule deer, javelinas, and a variety of bird species along the trail.
Spring and fall are ideal for visiting, as the temperatures are milder and the trail is less crowded.
The arch offers panoramic views of the surrounding red rock formations and lush forested areas.
It is located within the Red Rock-Secret Mountain Wilderness, which spans over 47,000 acres of protected land.
