Private Arch Details
A relatively new discovery in Arches National Park is Private Arch, an 18 foot high by 38 foot wide arch carved into the red sandstone. Although the arch is millions of years old, it has only been in park records for a little over a decade. This magnificent arch carved into a soaring sandstone fin is located off the rough and rugged Primitive Trail of the Devils Garden Loop, just beyond Double O Arch. Wear sturdy shoes and don't forget to bring your ten essentials.
