One of the world’s largest freestanding natural arches (~287 ft span) hidden in the Kolob Canyons / Zion Wilderness section of Zion National Park. Reached by the strenuous ~14-mile round-trip La Verkin Creek Trail from Lee Pass—long desert-canyon day hike or backpack with solitude, red Navajo walls, and a short spur to the arch viewpoint.
