Description
The arch is named to honor Gilbert Hovey Grosvenor (1875–1966), a president of the National Geographic Society, publishers of the National Geographic Magazine.[2]
Located in northern Kane County, it is close to and south of Kodachrome Basin State Park and is accessed from the north or south via Cottonwood Canyon Road, a dirt road that traverses Cottonwood Canyon in the western portion of the national monument.[3]
The site is well maintained and has an outhouse restroom and cement benches. There is a concrete sidewalk that goes almost to the base of the arch which is handicap accessible.[4]
