"...The butte is 300 feet high, and the Entrada formation and its Carmel base are plainly discernible. A short distance beyond is SOUTH WINDOW, 65 feet high and 130 feet long, and hard by, its companion, NORTH WINDOW, of like size. Both are less smoothly sculptured than Double Arch, but both are imposing in size and regularity, and frame imposing desert vistas.
A favorite trick of photographers is to walk through the South Window and snap Turret Arch in its frame."
--- Utah. A Guide to the State, 1941
The Windows section is very popular with tourists, as there are many arches and formation to visit in a short hiking distance from one central point. The South Window is one of the arches first seen, and first visited from the parking area.
A short trail around the back of the South Window will take you to the North Window and back to the parking area.
