Nevills Arch
|
Nevills Arch is located in Owl Canyon in the Cedar Mesa
area of southern Utah. It is named for Norman Nevills who
was the first boatman to take paying customers on the
Colorado River through Grand Canyon. He also had tours
of the San Juan River. He and his wife were killed in an
airplane crash at Mexican Hat on Sept. 19, 1949. It is
shown on the “Snow Flat Spring Cave 7.5 minute USGS
quadrangle (1989)” map. It is located on the north side of
the canyon in a large rock fin. From the Fish/Owl car park,
hike down Owl Canyon approximately 4.1 miles to the
viewpoint of this delightful arch. The arch has a span of
145 ft. and an opening height of 80 ft.
