Anyone recognize this arch? I know it's really close to Moab. I've almost positive I've been to it before but I can't remeber where or when.
TIA

Nope, I don't think it's Morning Glory, which was my first thought. Morning Glory is much taller and I looked at some of my pictures from below Morning Glory and they don't match up. Also if this is Morning Glory you would be seeing part of the canyon wall to the girls right. But I could be wrong.

If not Morning Glory then it looks reminiscent of a common scene in the Fiery Furnace.

Then it's gotta be somewhere along the Colorado River corridor along Potash Road. Or a connecting side canyon along there.
Or perhaps in the Pritchett Canyon area.

We used to do simil-raps off an arch north of town, was called uranium arch, I believe.
Looked a lot like Morning glory but smaller.
When I put on a rendezvous in Moab, this arch was on the t-shirts.

I don't think it's Uranium Arch as the opening between the arch and the wall is much larger at Uranium than in the pic.
