JOHNSON'S ARCH
The arch is located in southern Utah near the southern
border of Snow Canyon State Park. It has a span of
102 ft. The arch was named for Maude Johnson, a plural
wife of pioneer resident, Johnson, who built a home for
his wife in the canyon containing the arch. To get to the
arch, drive to the south gate of Snow Canyon State Park
NW of St. George. Park in the lot about 300 ft. south of
the gate (outside the Park) and cross the road to the east
to the hiking information sign. The trail leads for about 3/4
mile around a fin and a short way into a canyon between
fins to the arch. The arch is closed part of the year to
protect wildlife and vegetation.
