Why didn’t we try this first?
We head back to Sheets Draw in Capital Reef National Park. This time David and I simply start hiking up the draw from the Notom and Bullfrog road end of the canyon.
From the road the sandy wash soon becomes a deep canyon with shear cliff walls. Some muddy stretches, some narrows, some small choke stones to climb over but after 3.4 miles we turn the corner and find a large natural arch hanging on the north cliff wall.
Beautiful!
So the Sheets Draw Arch was not a myth after all!
