The Canyon Overlook hike is a one-mile round-trip hike on the east side of the tunnel, offering views of the canyon from the Great Arch (although you cannot see the Great Arch from this hike, since you’re basically atop it). The hike is not for anyone afraid of heights- there are a lot of drop-offs and narrow passageways, although there are fences in most places. This would be considered a moderately-difficult hike, as there is a 163’ elevation change over half a mile, and the terrain is rocky and uneven. It was a fun hike, which only took us 15-minutes to the top, where we enjoyed views of the canyon, as well as the drive to the tunnel.
