fun fact- Technical canyoneering equipment and two or three hundred feet of rappelling rope is required to stand inside this arch. However, it can be easily seen from where we shot the photo above, via a couple miles of non-technical hiking

Text

Exit Hwy 96 near GPS - ±36°12.026’N 106°45.608’W. Sorry this figure is very approximate… but close. These 4WD roads are serious, very deeply “rutted” –BAD roads, requiring 4WD with extra high clearance. Bring a shovel along- you may need it. In fact if these roads are muddy from resent rains…??? I wouldn’t drive them. The mud here can get extremely deep and sticky. I usually park just over the top of the pass, about one mile in from Hwy 96. The road gets way worse descending the steep grade ahead. Only drive in as far as you feel comfortable with.

As you can see on the map below… there are several slot canyons (marked with red lines) right nearby. However, it is East Pinabetoso Canyon holding the beautiful Entrada Enclave and Todilto Natural Arch. See a photo of Entrada Enclave below our map.

Right-click-save-as on our map below, to print your own “hand-held” copy for your hike

Enhanced USGS topo map

The Red Lines depict sections of “slot canyons”

Entrada Enclave opening is 100 feet high surrounded by a solid Entrada Sandstone cliff 400 feet high

Guadalupe Arch appears in Wingate Sandstone

There are many more natural arches in this lower Cañon Guadalupe area... but… but… they are actually DIRT...!!!

see: http://www.dougscottart.com/hobbies/SlotCanyons/Guadalupe.htm

beta facts:

name- Guadalupe Arch

opening size- guessing- 8’wide x 15’high

elevation- 5900’

GPS coordinates- ±35°31.777’N 107°09.352’W

ownership- BLM

access- is from Highway 279

nearest town- Cabezon, NM is about 8 miles northeast of here

fun fact- don’t get in the quicksand... it is true quicksand that can suck you in at free-fall speed... no joke.

For more info see: http://www.dougscottart.com/hobbies/SlotCanyons/Guadalupe.htm -and please right-click yourself a copy of our map. When you hike up Cañon Guadalupe from HWY 279 be sure to park and hike before the highway crosses Guadalupe Creek otherwise sheer and crumbly dirt cliffs 40’ high will block your access... whereas the north side hiking is open and you can easily cross Rito Guadalupe upstream one mile above the highway, at the ten foot high waterfall that drops over a “dirt” cliff. Guadalupe Arch is right there.

My friend Steve was hiking up Ancha Slot Canyon, a few feet ahead of me when he turned to ask, “What makes a natural arch, a natural bridge?” “A natural bridge has either a perennial stream or an intermittent water-course flowing under it.” I replied, “why do you ask?” ...his smile gave him away... I stepped forward and gasp, “What a fine natural arch...!” Visiting in the Jeep with him later I boldly stated, “I am going to name this arch Steven’s Arch.” “There is already a Stevens Arch.” He declared sharply. ...which I knew... “Yes, but this Steven’s Arch is spelled differently. It has an apostrophe between the last two letters.” I knew he would NOT like this, but I thought I was being quite tricky.... and I really don’t know if this is a natural arch or a natural bridge.....

Sandia Arch

Sandia Arch is upon a high ridge between the two upper forks of the South Fork of Cañon del Agua. This natural arch is about 7 feet wide by 7 feet high.

This photo below shows both Sandia Arch and Little Sandia Arch... as seen from the north

Little Sandia Arch is best reached with ropes and gear

Owen Henderson Photo 2010

...and the hole of this “third” arch below would be much larger if it were free from several large, loose rocks and boulders resting inside of its opening...

The photo above is of the north-facing side of this arch and the photo below is of its south-facing side... perhaps “Cluttered Arch” is a good name for it.

beta facts:

I first found Sandia Arch from the North Crest Trail in 1974... This is a very exciting and worthy destination that can be reached via a 6 mile round-trip excursion with 2000’ vertical. The last half mile from Cañon del Agua Overlook to Sandia arch is a steep bushwhack descent thru aspens... but very do-able... There really should be a trail here......

Below are some important GPS coords for Sandia Arch:

Cañon del Agua Overlook- ±35°14.272’N 106°26.996’W

Pasture Hollow Natural Bridge

Pasture Hollow Natural Bridge was submitted by Jeff Trike. He shot this photo while parasailing above Cibola National Forrest

beta facts:

name- Pasture Hollow Natural Bridge

opening size- unknown

elevation- 7600’ aprox.

GPS coordinates- ± 35.193768, -108.509490°.’W

ownership- Cibola National Forest

access- is via an un-numbered 2 track 4WD forest road, 3.5 miles north of Ramah Dam. Then bushwhack a quarter mile NE up a side canyon

nearest town- Ramah is about 4 miles south of here

fun fact- The height and span width of this arch is yet to be published. Might you like to supply those numbers?

This Natural Bridge appears quite obvious on Google Satellite image… although it is not labeled. This area looks like it will be AMAZING….! ! !

Below here is a photo sent to me by Niel Grady

Niel Grady photo

He estimates that this arch that he found while hiking, is somewhere near GPS cords: 35.1990673, -108.4384747 – which is quite near Ramah Falls.

I believe these cords to be incorrect. This arch is more likely to be up near the top of Hogback Ridge, in the vicinity of Pasture Hollow Natural Bridge…

However, at this time We must consider the location of this natural arch to be unknown.

The span and height of this arch can be estimated by the size of the grown man walking within the right-hand side of this sun-lit opening. Judging by this man, my guess

is that this arch has a height of about 12 feet and a span of about 18 feet.
