This arch is near the base of the San Rafael Reef west of the Goblin
Valley Road. From I/S 70 west of Green River, Utah, go south on
State Rt. 24. Turn west at mile marker 137 and turn left onto the
Goblin Valley Rd. at 4.8 miles. Less than a mile down this road,
a dirt road turns to the right. Take this road to its end and the
two alcoves, the right one of which contains the arch, will be visible
almost due west. The road ends on a low bluff overlooking a north-
south running wash. Descend into this wash and follow it going
south for a short distance and then look for a larger west-east running
wash. Follow this wash west till some slickrock appears on the north
side. Ascend this slickrock and continue on toward the alcoves as
they again become visible. There are some widely spaced cairns
leading to the alcoves if one happens to run across them.
