 We traveled from Cannonville Utah, along the Cottonwood Canyon Road, through amazing wilderness areas. The dirt road crossed up and down steep ridges and through dry creek beds as we traveled through this remote area of the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in Southern Utah. Approaching the end of an isolated ridge we saw the 152 foot tall double arch of yellowish-white Henrieville sandstone that is one of the most photographed places in the National Monument. This arch was discovered by a National Geographic expedition team and was named for the society founder Gilbert Hovey Grosvenor.  Grosvenor was known as the “Father of Photojournalism” and was the first full time editor of the National Geographic Magazine from 1920 till 1954.  He died at the age of 90 in 1966.
