While everybody seems to focus on just the Mobius arch, there are many more fantastic natural rock arches nearby. Lathe Arch is small, but one of my favorites.

A difficult bow to find. It is much smaller than it actually looks in the picture and it is low to the ground so you might walk past it without noticing it.
