On our last day of visiting Valley of Fire State Park in Nevada, we hiked the Natural Arch Trail looking for a fallen arch and for an arch that a map that we bought in the park's visitor center called Thing Arch. The park staff told us that they only name two of the park's arches, Arch Rock in the campground area and Natural Arch, which gave this trail its name, but which collapsed in 2010. In any case, the map that we referred to showed a Thing Arch across the wash from where the collapsed arch was and we looked for it during our hike. We think this is the Thing. It's a fragile looking rock span in Aztec Sandstone.
Remember, it's not just a picture, it's a story.
