About Elves Chasm

Elves Chasm is accessible from the river via a 5 minute hike up Royal Arch creek. The easier trail is on the left side of the creek (facing away from the Colorado). Elves Chasm is a gorgeous pool with hanging ferns and occasional flowers. It is a beautiful place to hang out on a warm day. It is possible to climb up and jump off of the waterfall.

The climb to the jump area starts where the people are sitting in this photo. Be careful on the slippery rocks.
