Standing at approximately 140 feet tall and 260 feet wide, Nevills Arch is a remarkable natural formation located in the remote wilderness of southeastern Utah.
The arch was named after Norman Nevills, a pioneering river runner who explored the Colorado River and its tributaries in the 1930s and 1940s.
Accessing Nevills Arch requires a challenging hike through rugged terrain, making it a destination for experienced hikers and adventurers.
Formed over millions of years, Nevills Arch is a result of natural erosion processes that sculpted the Entrada Sandstone into its current shape.
It is situated within the boundaries of Bears Ears National Monument, an area known for its rich cultural and natural heritage.
The surrounding area is home to diverse wildlife, including mule deer, coyotes, and various bird species, thriving in the desert ecosystem.
