Gold Bar Arch

Gold Bar Arch extends across the sandstone landscape, forming a substantial opening that frames the surrounding desert terrain and mountain ranges.

The arch evolved over millions of years through geological processes of erosion and weathering in the Colorado Plateau region of southeastern Utah.

Local Native American tribes incorporated this natural landmark into their traditional narratives and used the surrounding areas for seasonal gatherings.

Visitors can reach the arch through a 5.87-kilometer trail that begins at the Gold Bar Recreation Site parking area near the Colorado River.

The rock formation earned its alternate name, Jeep Arch, due to its distinctive outline that resembles the profile of a four-wheel-drive vehicle.
