Wild Horse Canyon and Wild Horse Window (or Skylight Arch as some refer to it) is a great, short, family friendly hike near Goblin Valley. For the more adventurous and technically inclined, the arch is often simul-rapped, and a lot of fun.

For pictures, I would recommend visiting in the morning when the arch area is in the sun. By mid/late afternoon, it becomes more shaded and harder to photograph. Mid-day is likely the perfect time.

Expect a little bit of route finding on this adventure, but certainly do-able by most.
