The Buffalo Arch Trail #634A is accessed from the Parker’s Mountain Trail. The trail follows a ridge for 1/4-mile before reaching the arch. Native Americans gave this arch its name because they used its height as an advantage when hunting buffalo. The arch is located at the end of a ridge, measuring 18 feet 6 inches high and 81 feet 8 inches wide. The ridgeline drops along the back of Buffalo Arch into a valley created by a nearby stream.
