natural bridge

mckeddie · 04-04-2010, 12:58 PM

hey, i haven't been there forever, so i don't remember the area at all, but i'm pretty sure we used to drive across a natural bridge up by the narrows? does anyone have any idea what the actual name of that natural bridge is? my brothers have been going down there hiking alot, and have seen all the bridges in teh park. i've always told them about that one, but have no idea what it is called to tell them which one it is.

thanks,
greg

I always heard it was called "white's arch"....
I remember there being a hiking trail down one side of it, because i never realized it was an arch till i hiked down there one day.

I've heard Whites Arch and Greys Arch, I call it Narrows Rd. That road is shut down to vehicles, the state dug trenches on both ends and piled large. Boulders in the way. You can watch the documentary on youtube. Look for Narrows Rd documentary

I've also heard it called the narrows. Eventually we're going to work on a route around it. Planning a clean up soon, I'll post up to gather support.

Not sure what planning a route around will do. There are already roads in place that allow access to the backside to a certain point. The top would be difficult on a 4 wheeler unless you started cutting trees throough the woods and I don't suggest that. It is blocked off at the entrance from Big Ben Rd. They've got the Narrows closed for their own reasons, I don't like it but they do. If it is noticed that people are trying to cut new trails it may draw attention that us locals and all visitors don't want. It's nice driving ten miles to the trails and I would hate to loose that.

There is a ski lift that takes you up to the stone bridge and you can walk over it.

We go every year.
