Traveling from Cannonville Utah, along the Cottonwood Canyon Road, you pass through amazing wilderness areas. The dirt road crosses up and down steep ridges and through dry creek beds as you travel through this remote area of the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in Southern Utah. As you approach the end of an isolated ridge you see 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 Grosvenor. |
