Rating
3
Technical Class Indicates the technicality of the terrain and the tyoe of rope work require.
1 -
Canyon Hiking Non-technical. No rope is required. See the route description for difficulties.
2 -
Basic Canyoneering Scrambling, easy climbing or downclimbing. A rope may be handy for handlines, belays, lowering packs and emergency use. Exit or retreat possible upcanyon without fixed ropes.
3 -
Intermediate Canyoneering Rappels or technical climbing and/or downclimbing. A rope is required for belays and single-pitch rappels. Retreat upcanyon would require fixing ropes.
4 -
Advanced Canyoneering Aid climbing, multi-pitch rappels and/or complex rope work (such as re-belays, tyrollean traverse, or guided rappels) may be required. Might also require difficult pothole escapes, serious squeezing, extensive high-risk downclimbing, or have difficult-to-establish natural anchors. Rappels longer than 200 feet will usually earn a canyon a Class 4 rating.
A
Water Rating indicates complications due to flowing or still water, under normal conditions.
A -
Normally dry or with very little water. Wading to waist deep at most.
B -
Water with no current or light current. Still pools. Falls are normally dry or running at a trickle. Swimming expected.
C -
Water with strong current. Waterfalls. Wet canyon rope techniques required.
I
Time or Grade indicates the length of the adventure.
I -
Short. A couple of hours.
II -
Requires about a half day.
III -
Normally requires most of a day.
IV -
Expected to take a long day. Get up early, bring a headlamp. Possible bivy.
V -
More than one day. Normally done in two days.
VI -
Two full days or more.
Additional Risk Rating indicates the presence of more risk factors than might be expected.
No Rating -
Normal risk factors are present on this adventure.
R -
One or more extraordinary risk factors exist that complicate the descent. Solid technical skills and sound judgment required. Not appropriate for beginners, even with competent leadership.
X -
Multiple risk factors exist that will complicate the descent. Errors in technique or judgment will likely result in serious injury or death. Descent should be attempted by expert canyoneers only. This is the least-well-established part of the rating system, and the most subjective. Use by beta-providers varies widely, to the point that this part of the rating means very little.

1. Approaches:
Dino Tracks Approach
Approach GPS: 38.533034, -109.608531
From the Poison Spider Springs Trailhead parking, begin following the trail behind the vault toilets. This trail will lead you to the Potash Rd. Dinosaur Tracks and Petroglyphs. These are really neat features of this approach and should be checked out. From the petroglyph wall, head West picking up the trail again. This will lead you up a short steep section where there is some rebar to help you pull yourself up to continue on the path. Follow the faint paint markings on the rock until the social trail appears. Follow the social trail to the opening of a wide wash. Head up the wash almost to the end where you will take a sharp right and where you will have a good view of Longbow Arch. Head up the gully and down the other side. About halfway down the gully, there is an optional rappel, but can be fairly easily downclimbed to the right. Continue down the gully until it opens up to be really wide. The first rappel will be located on the slab to the left of the canyon.

Waypoints:
Dinosaur Tracks and Petroglyphs
GPS: 38.53370, -109.60797
Check out the neat dinosaur tracks and pictographs/petroglyphs! To continue the approach from here, continue west/northwest where the canyon walls bottleneck.
Iron Holds
GPS: 38.533913, -109.609590
Where the canyon walls bottleneck, there are some iron hold to assist you to scramble up to the social trail.
Social Trail
GPS: 38.53469, -109.61003
Once up the iron holds, follow the dry drainage for about 50 yards and then pick up the social trail. This is typically marked by a cairn.
Wash Entrance
GPS: 38.53586, -109.61397
The social trail will end abruptly, but there are faint green paint markers that take you up and over a portion of slickrock and then down to a very sandy wash.
Longbow Arch Canyon Entrance
GPS: 38.54235, -109.61488
Follow the wash and the green paint lines until you get to an obvious opening on your right near the end of the wash. This is the entrance to the canyon and where Longbow Arch is located.
Longbow Arch
GPS: 38.54208, -109.61278
Longbow Arch is located high up on the left-hand wall as you start your scramble up the slot.
Downclimb
GPS: 38.54167, -109.60960
This is a short downclimb that beginners or less confident down-climbers may want to rappel. The downclimb is located just on the right edge of this drop and is somewhat exposed, but has good footholds. It is about 15 ft. high at most.
3. Exit Time:
Potash Road
Exit GPS: 38.53903, -109.60307
From the bottom of the last rappel, head South/Southwest on Highway 279 (Potash Rd). You’ll pass William Bottom’s Campground and after about a quarter of a mile, reach the Poison Spider Trailhead Parking Lot. It is a super simple and casual exit. The exit should take around 10 minutes.

Longbow Arch Canyon Rappels
3 - 4 rappels
Rappel 1
Rappel 1 Anchor
Webbing from permanent hardware.
Overview
For the first 20 feet, you will have contact with the wall, but this rappel soon slopes sharply enough that you will be free hanging for the last 100 ft. or so.
Tips
When throwing your rope, make sure to NOT throw it too far out or to the right because it will get stuck in a tree. Just throw the rope straight down. Make sure to test the pull before the last person down.
Rappel 2
Length: 65 ft
Type of Rappel: Standard
Rappel 3
Bolted Anchor
2 new bolts and webbing. Webbing is from February 2021.
Bush Anchor
Anchored off of a small bush at the base. The bush is somewhat flexible. The rope/webbing extends over the edge for an easy pull.
Overview
There are two options for the final rappel. The first is off of two bolted hangers near the bottom of the third rappel to the left after the canyon opens. The other option is off of a study bush low to the ground to the right about 30 yards from the bottom of the third rappel. Either is about 60 ft.
Tips
Make sure to LOWER and not throw your rope from either anchor. There are lots of trees at the bottom.

Bow & Arrow Canyon Trip Reports
November 25, 2020
Started at 2:30 p.m. and finished at 5:10 p.m. We took our time and enjoyed the cool weather that late fall/early winter in Moab has to offer. Anchors were all in good condition and the petroglyphs at the beginning of the trailhead were way cool. If you do this canyon, you gotta check those out.

Fun canyon! Great beginner canyon I think. Not much shade so make sure to bring enough water for a short canyon, especially when running it during the summer months. The 1st rappel (or second depending on if you downclimb the first drop), is the best one of the canyon. You'll get some hang-time on it!
