Metate Arch, Devils Garden Outstanding Natural Area, Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, Utah

I, Bob, am attending the 2022 Fall Arch Rally by the Natural Arch and Bridge Society (NABS).  The second day trip was cancelled due to a forecast of afternoon thunderstorms.  The alternative was for our group to go to the Devils Garden Outstanding Natural Area instead, which was the object of the other trip scheduled for this day.  The Devils Garden consists of sandstone formations called hoodoos and are similar to the hoodoos that Bryce Canyon National Park is famous for.  The most impressive arch in the Devils Garden was this one called Metate Arch.   Its span is 16 feet with a height of 22 feet.

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