Awesome! I will go through that and see if I have missed any in my area!

I like the idea of naming natural features after the area. I know my friend could care less about an arch named after him.

What about an official Forum arch. This one is close to the hiway and easily accesible. People can go by when they're in the area and take a picture with it.

I say we adopt it and have a naming contest. I'll even donate a
prize.

Your thoughts.

Win

I would say .. just...

Coral Pink Arch or Coral Pink Sand Dunes Arch? It's probably the only one out there.

well you can get coyote natural bridge, jacob hamblin arch and stevens arch (and i think cliff arch too, which should be aka jug handle?) if you cruise down coyote gulch. super popular but sublime canyon. stevens arch is in the south wall of stevens canyon, the mouth of which is just up the escalante from coyote gulch. you can see stevens arch from on to of the north wall at the mouth of coyote gulch. coyote gulch is a MUST-DO. just try not to go when everyone and their mother are there


broken bow is in willow gulch, gregory, bement and lagorce are in davis gulch, sunset arch and natural bridge are in fortymile gulch, all of which which are canyons accessible at the distant end of the hole-in-the-rock road.



sam pollock is in a tributary of hackberry cyn

zane greg arch is in explorer canyon, which is hard to get to unless you're boating



by the way, this link might be helpful if you don't know about it

I've been to the following:

Cliff Arch
Coyote Natural Bridge
Jacob Hamblin Arch
Sam Pollock Arch
Starlight Arch
Stevens Arch
Woolsey Arch

I may have been to some of the others without knowing the name.

Anyway, Stevens, Cliff, Coyote NB, Jacob Hamblin can be seen from Coyote Gulch hike as pointed out. Woolsey is an easy hike to the head of Rock Creek in the Powell area. Sam Pollock is in a side canyon of Hackberry Canyon. Starlight Arch is access from the Paria Movie set and then climbing the mesa. All mentioned are easy hikes.

Haven't been, but I know Bement Arch and La Gorce are in Davis Gulch. Broken Bow is in Wilow Creek. See Kelsey's book for info on those hikes.

Access to Starlight arch can be had near the Paria Movie Set site.

If you go up Hackberry to visit Sam Pollock Arch you can make a loop of it by heading west to pick up a well defined trail that will take you back south towards Yellow Rock. A connector trail would take you across Yellow Rock and then back down to your starting point.

I've been to LaGorce Arch. When Lake Powell is at full pool you boat right up to it. It's really popular with boaters and usually has a small crowd.

The now burnt down Paria Movie Set! Those are now all on my short to do list!

I think I will wait until the water warms up though. I want no part of crossing that water out there again this winter! You are amazing Jeff! You live so far away and it seems you have hit everything!

That is in Kane County?

Bement Arch is quite nice, but is best visited by doing Davis Gulch from the top down, otherwise, you get to do the bushwack twice, and miss the slot! The whole trip took me about 7 hours (down Davis to the exit trail).

yup, tanya, kane county actuall extends into the middle of the escalante/lake so since lagorce is on that side of the line, then yes it's right at the edge of the county

Have you done a lot of exploring in that area?
