I started my hike at 7:21 AM, from the usual parking spot for Black Cross Butte. From there it was a short walk back on Forest Road 80 to Crucifix Canyon. After following a jeep trail I was soon on a narrow trail and descending into the canyon. The canyon was wide here, and soon I was looking for the route up out of the canyon to the arches. It was about 1 mile to the Double Arches, and it took me 40 minutes. From there I followed various overgrown trails northwest and up out of the canyon, and looped back to where I was above the arches. Then I followed periodic faint trails back to my car. My loop hike was 2.4 miles, and it took me 2 hours and 13 minutes.
