wall arch in 2007 (collapsed in 2008)

Wall Arch was reported and named in 1948 by Lewis T. McKinney and was about 70 feet wide. It is/was composed of Entrada sandstone. Ultimately, the bully that wins all fights--gravity--performed its services and on an August night in 2008, 16 months after this visit with Chase, it fell to earth. R.I.P. Wall Arch. May the millennia to come honor you with a thousand more, slowly and methodically carved by wind, sun, and water.
