Remarks:

Reference: Manning,"100 trails of the BSF", pg 75.

The main arch is best viewed from the east side of the Ben Creek watershed. The arch is embedded on the point of the high bluff line. The smaller arch is just above the creek along the ridge line that takes you (off-trail) to the high arch, but the high arch is not visible from the base of the bluff.

The picture below is of the smaller arch.
