The overlook and trailhead to this remote arch is on a sandy road that requires high clearance 4 wheel drive vehicles. There is a small lot to park, but don't worry, there isn't much traffic in this remote area of the park.
Take Salt Valley Road and turn left on sandy road. This is a designated road, however there is no name on the map for it. Due to very deep sandy hills, travel is suggested to be north to south. (Salt Valley Road to Willow Flats Road). Road may be impassable when wet.
Do not go alone if you wish to attempt this route. And bring plenty of water. The remoteness is truly beautiful, but can be treacherous.
