San Rafael Arches
I've come across these two arches that are supposedly located in the Swell. Anyone been to them? Other than the Wildhorse Window what other arches are in the Swell?

This book has some descriptions on how to get to some of the arches:

I'm sure it's out of print, but the Salt Lake County Library System I know has a copy or two if you live in SLC.

There are tons of arches in the Swell. Here's a website that lists 37 arches:

And there are quite a few that aren't listed on that site. Here's one more that I visited a couple of years ago:

Another unlisted arch, called "Natural Arch" on topo maps. We visited it this last weekend, I honestly didn't even think it would be considered an arch, but I digress, its not the most impressive arch in the Swell, but an arch none the less

The book "A hiking and 4-WD Guide to the Arches of the San Rafael Swell" by Chris Moore is a good reference to have.

The second picture is Delicate Arch which is also listed as Spring Canyon Arch since it is in that canyon. His is taken from inside the canyon but I took this from the rim.
