Kolob Arch Details

This is one of the largest freestanding natural arches in the world, a wind-carved span of sandstone measuring 287.4 feet. You'll need to hike 14 miles roundtrip from Lee Pass to see the arch, a trip that takes an average of 12 hours. It's a strenuous hike if you try to do it in a day, but relatively easy if you camp overnight and do it in two days.
