Grosvenor Arch Drive Description
Grosvenor Arch is a striking double arch formation located in the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, a short distance off of Cottonwood Canyon Road in Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. Named after Gilbert Hovey Grosvenor, a former president of the National Geographic Society, this natural wonder is one of the region’s most accessible and impressive geological features. The quarter mile walk follows a concrete path to the base of the arches then smooth packed sand trails allow you to get different angles of the arches.
