Kolob Arch is a natural arch in Zion National Park, Utah, United States. According to the Natural Arch and Bridge Society (NABS), it is the sixth-longest natural arch in the world.[2] In 2006, the Society measured the span at 287.4 ± 2 feet (87.6 m),[3] which is slightly shorter than Landscape Arch in Arches National Park. Differences in measuring technique or definitions could produce slightly different results and change this ranking.
Access
[edit | edit source]Kolob Arch can be reached via one of two hiking trails, either of which is approximately seven miles (11 km) long and results in a round trip of fourteen miles (23 km). The arch can also be reached from Ice Box Canyon, a canyoneering route in this section of Zion National Park. The arch is high above the ground and frames a cliffside.
