Fun Facts

Wilson Arch is conveniently located right off U.S. Route 191, making it easily visible and accessible to travelers without the need for a strenuous hike.

The arch is named after Joe Wilson, a local pioneer who was one of the first settlers in the area.

Wilson Arch stands at an impressive 46 feet high and spans 91 feet across, making it a significant natural structure in the region.

The arch is primarily composed of Entrada Sandstone, which is known for its striking red and orange hues, typical of the region's geological formations.
