Royal Arches is one of the classic moderate routes in Yosemite Valley! It was first climbed in 1936 by Morgan Harris, Ken Adam, and Kenneth Davis. Since then it has become a long multi-pitch adventure for beginner yosemitelings to cut their teeth on. For more history read Steve Roper's write up on the supertopo site.

Very Flat with slight up and down hills along the back half of bluff point, not technical at all. The entire course is on gravel with only about 100 meters of pavement before crossing a train bridge. 

For generations, community members and visitors have enjoyed recreating on thousands of acres of State Trust Land girding Whitefish, Montana, a former timber town transformed into a tourist destination due to its world-class ski area on Big Mountain and its proximity to Glacier National Park. For hikers, bicyclists, cross-country skiers and other outdoor enthusiasts, this forested land offers stunning views and challenging terrain, as well as premier wildlife habitat and one of the largest intact ecosystems in the Crown of the Continent.
