Yes there are a couple different ways. The shortest is to climb up "South Canyon" (apparently a old sheepherder name) from the Tomsich Butte area to SW of the arch and then climb up. This was the way we went; Kelsey describes it as an "easy climb" but we felt there were a couple of sketchy spots on the way up. You can also hike from Johns Hole Overlook but it's longer and there is a lot of up and down/around to get there. Either access offers great car camping at the TH however!

Next up. This is near where I thought the previous spot was, until I opened Google Earth and realized nothing matched up.

this one's gotta be looking south at Mexican Mountain, Sulfur Canyon, and a bit of the San Rafael River near the upper Black Box
