We attended the 2025 Spring Arch Rally by the Natural Arch and Bridge Society centered around Moab, Utah. The rally was held from Saturday, March 8th to Saturday, March 15th.
On our seventh day of hiking, our host Peter Jamieson took us to the Klondike Bluffs area north of Moab, Utah. One of the several natural rock spans that we saw on this hike was this one called Parallel Arch. This double arch was high on a cliff of sandstone.
The dimensions of these arches, according to the World Arch Database is, for the outer arch, 32 foot span, and the inner arch is 22 foot span.
We tried measuring the span and height of these two natural rock spans and came up with the following numbers:
Parallel Arch Outer
Span - 17.178 meters (56.36 feet)
Height - 12.617 meters (41.38 feet)
Parallel Arch Inner
Height - 9.067 meters (29.75 feet)
Span -
Remember it's not just a picture, it's a story.
