The hike to the Cobra Arch is about 7 mi long, round trip. Thereby a good 650 ft height must be overcome. There is no shade. Again, the way is the goal. All photos have the GPS data in the Exif.
Pano of 5 photos: view from Cobra Arch: Coyote Buttes South on the left, Wave area in the notch on the right.

The destination - best photo time noon
Directions Coming from Page take the 89 towards Kanab. After 30 mi, just after crossing the Paria River, turn left onto the Long Valley Road, which you follow for 8 mi until you reach parking 1. directly at a bush on the right side behind a fence.
Recommendation: after the descent to the "lower level", it is better to keep better in a larger distance to the steep face - this way so you get halfway level to the vicinity of the Arches. At the end then a short climb up the left.

Track of the approach from Hwy.89
Update: 11.12.2021
The path over the Spider Butte offers further photographic elements. From the Spider Butte to the Cobra Arch it is 1.8 miles. Shortly before the Cobra you the steep descent. However, there are accessible routes.
And one more hint: there is no shade! The whole circuit from parking lot 1 via the standard path to the Cobra and back via the Butte is exactly 7 mi long. The differences in altitude to be overcome are manageable.
