Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use American English Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox landform Cassidy Arch is a large natural arch located in Capitol Reef National Park, Utah. The formation is considered one of the more popular attractions in the park.[1]Шаблон:By whom The arch sits 400 feet above the Scenic Drive and the Grand Wash Trail.
Name
Cassidy Arch is named after local railroad bandit Butch Cassidy, who reportedly had a hideout in nearby Grand Wash Canyon while on the run.[2]
Access
The arch can be accessed via the Grand Wash Trail, then later joining onto the Cassidy Arch Trail, a 3.5 mile loop trail near Torrey. Due to a 700-foot elevation gain in under 2 miles and steep terrain winding through the canyon, the trail is generally considered a challenging route.[3] Grand Wash Road, which is the road that leads to the trailhead, is a rocky, unpaved dirt road and is prone to flash floods.[4] The arch is one of the few standable arches in the National Park system [5]
