The
Wineglass Arch is a short distance off the main road, close to the Anticline Overlook at the north end of
Canyon Rims Recreation Area in southeast Utah. It is one of about 50 reasonably large arches south of Moab and outside of Arches National Park.
The Wineglass Arch is
visible from the road. There are some trail segments, but it is easy just to cross the open field to the base of the rock outcrop.
If you spend enough time in this area, I think you become more interested in becoming an arch spotter, taking time to see these small but otherwise rare formations.
Glancing up as I made my way toward Wineglass, there is
a second arch about 100 feet to the north. Not a famous arch, but it appears to meet the three foot opening standard and qualifies.
Since there were two arches here, I continued around the backside of the formation looking for more, but I didn't see any.
