Ring Arch
I just added Ring Arch to Climb-Utah.com
http://climb-utah.com/Moab/ring.htm
Its a really cool arch in Arches Natioanl Park that is seldom visited but really easy to reach. Its a nice route to do after you have hit all the tourist trails.
The arch also has some interesting history with its inclusion in a book called "Arch Bagging" that forced the National Park service to rewrite its rule book.
In 1982, Gerry Roach wrote a self published book titled "Arch Bagger". This was his first book and a mere 300 copies were printed. The book is long out of print, and it is very rare. Ring Arch was one of the 39 arches identified in Arch Bagger.
After Roach published Arch Bagger, the National Park Service defined new rules for climbing in Arches National Park. Climbing is prohibited on any arch identified on current USGS 7.5 minute topographical maps. This rule presumably affected 16 of the 39 arches described in Arch Bagger. One of them being Ring Arch.

It's about time I get down to Arches again. It's been about 4 years.

If anyone wants to recommend a cool secluded arch in or out of the park I would love to hear about it.
One of my favorite arches is Corona Arch just outside the park.

Corona would probably make any top 10 list of area arches.

Also... a guy be the name of Tim Martin flew his airplane through Carona Arch. I'm trying to get a copy of this picture if anyone knows where one might exist.
