Long Description:
While Arches NP has its famous Balanced Rock, and many other
balanced rocks throughout the park, this one takes a sharp eye to
spot.
Found along the zigzag entrance road as it climbs the steep
sides of Moab Canyon, it can only be seen by looking up while going
in the downhill direction. It also reinforces the fact that much of
the beauty of the park is never scene by most visitors as they
drive along the park roads, focusing on the road itself and the
park pullouts instead of the features all around them.
