This arch was known
unofficially for many years as "Pipeline Arch" because it was
discovered by workers laying a gas pipeline across the Park.
Drive on the main Park road to the parking turnout for
Broken Arch and Sand Dune Arch.
This large flat area is
bounded on the east by an escarpment. The arch is in the
edge of the escarpment with the top level with the flat
area. It is necessary to descend the escarpment and walk
up the short side canyon to see the arch from below. Use
caution when approaching the escarpment from above to avoid
falling through the open space behind the arch. Follow the
path to Broken Arch, but veer to the right before reaching
Broken and look for the opening behind the arch. There is an
easy route down the escarpment to see the arch from below.
