Kolob Arch, Zion National Park, Utah
Kolob Arch
Zion National Park
Kolob Arch crowns Zion National Park's lightly traveled Kolob Canyons District, which at 287.4' across is considered the world's second longest freestanding rock span. While geologically noteworthy, the hike along rare perennial desert streams, towering promontories, and crimson cliffs is highly compelling.
