This hike is one of the most beautiful multiday hikes in the world and an outdoor lovers dream. It allows you to pass through the Wolfberg Cracks – narrow faucets leading to a different planet. You’ll feel like a spec between those massive cracks once you squeeze your way through the tight space.
The rock formations throughout the entire route are actually mind blowing but it starts to get really exciting once you see the actual Wolfberg Arch in the distance. You’ll marvel at this Arch in all it’s glory while you’re there. One of the craziest things about this mesmerizing rock formation besides camping there is that you will experience the sunset and sunrise which many wildcamping options don’t offer. Most people only do a day hike and cannot take in the full experience of being present there for an extended period. We’ll do a round trip and take a slightly shorter route back.
