The arch is located in Westwater Canyon of the Colorado River on the
southeast wall of the Canyon between Marble Canyon and Star Canyon
in a fin between two small canyons with drainage direct to the River. The
Arch will be visible to a person rafting Westwater Canyon. That view
shows the overall shape of the Arch better than this close-up view.
The explored land route is from Colorado. Refer to the directions to
"Marble Canyon Arch 1" and "Marble Canyon Arch 2". Continue down
Marble Canyon to its confluence with the Colorado and then follow the
SE bench of the Chinle formation above the River SW to the arch. The
estimated span of the arch is 50 ft. with an opening height of about 60 ft.
NAD 83 UTM coordinate Zone 12 is 0660591E 4317007N.
