This interesting arch is located in the Superstition Mountains east of Phoenix.
See "Pyramid Peeper" for directions to the Peralta Trailhead. The arch can be
seen from less than a half mile up La Barge Canyon from its junction with Whiskey
Canyon. From the Peralta Trailhead hike over Miners Summit (near Miners
Needle Arch), turning toward Whiskey Spring near this summit. Hike down-
canyon in Whiskey Spring Canyon to its junction with LaBarge Canyon. Heading
upstream in LaBarge, look south along the nearby low ridge for Laconic Dodo
Arch. You are approximately 8 miles from the Peralta TH. "Dodo" because it says
much in a Spartan, graceful, Dodo-arched form. As seen on the map in the
Wilderness Vagabond report, the GPS coordinates for this arch are
UTM 12S 471617E; 3698839N; WGS 84 .
