Hiking to Harmonica Arch in the Lost Creek Wilderness
Harmonica Arch, also called Finger Rock Arch, is the longest span granite arch in the United States and the fourth longest in the world. Join me as I venture into the Lost Creek Wilderness to hike to this magnificent arch.

I Made a List of Resources for Arch Hunters
Just a quick update on a new resource I put together to help those interested in getting their arch hunting journey started.

The Hunt for Ojo Oro Arch
Ever since I first saw a picture of Ojo Oro Arch in Joshua Tree I've wanted to see. Since there were no directions available for it, I had to take matters into my own hands!

What is Considered an Arch?
There is a surprising amount of disagreement over how big a hole in a rock needs to be to qualify as an arch. This post explores how I classify what is and isn't considered a natural arch.

Where Do I Find Arch Data?
There is no one good resource available for finding arch data. This post explores what exactly I mean when I talk about 'Arch Data' and some of the resources I've found over the years for obtaining this data.

Documenting Leap Frog Pillar Arch 2 in Kentucky
Leapfrog 2 Arch is an arch that, to the best of my knowledge, had never been properly documented until I took this image. The arch is located on a shelf about 15-20 feet up the cliffside. There really isn’t a great way to get up to the top of it, so I ended up having to improvise a bit.

Hunting Natural Bridges In The Daniel Boone National Forest
Join me as I head out to confirm some recent arch submissions to the Kentucky Arch Database in the Daniel Boone National Forest.

Fall Arch Hunting In The Red River Gorge
It’s finally time for another adventure! This time around, I decided to get out into the Gorge to enjoy some of the fall colors and to hunt for some new-to-me arches.
