This is the rather generically named Arch Rock along the Sierra Vista Scenic Byway in the Sierra National Forest. This byway is east of Oakhurst, California and south of Yosemite National Park. Rick is crouched behind it in the first photo and we're both in front of the arch in the second to give you an idea of its size. This arch is made of granodiorite and has a span of 28 feet, a height of 3-1/2 feet, a thickness of 17 inches, and a width of 26 inches. It made us think of a big, exposed pipe or a big lathe.
We've produced a video about out visit to this arch. You can see it on our YouTube Channel at:

Remember, it's not just a picture, it's a story.
