Although this arch is more than just
a little out-of-the-way, it is certainly
worth the trip if you have a four-wheel-drive
vehicle. It would come in second comparing
it with Corona Arch. The opening has a span of 121 ft.
Drive south from Moab
on US 191. Not far beyond where the road
climbs out of Spanish Valley, a gravel
road turns to the right (another road
turns off to the left here). This is an
old oil exploration road which is two-wheel-drive
for part of the way. Continue on this road until
it descends into a pretty valley. Soon there
is a sign indicating the turnoff to the trail
head. The foot trail ascends a cliff and
continues along a ledge, passing another arch
(Cumming's). The
trail goes around an outcropping before arriving at
Pritchett Arch. See Pritchett Arch from the Air.
