Deceiving Arch
|
This arch is in the Seal Castle Wash on the way to the Mormon Temple. From the bottom of the Horse Trail, head down the main Bryce Wash about ½ mile; then go through the woods northward until you reach a small wash. There is a large rock mass on the east side, where on its north side is what appears to be a rather small cave up a talus slope which is hard to see from the wash. Inside, instead of a cave, is a crevice 40 ft.x12 ft. x 40 ft. high, open on one end and across the top except for an 8 ft. natural bridge. The entrance is really a 25 ft.x 35 ft. arch. With only a 12 ft. separation, Ted used a 24mm lens for the picture. Spring is the best time to get light into the crevice.
