Taken along the Potash Road which follows the Colorado River west of Moab, Utah.

The photo shows the reason for the name of this arch, which can be seen outside of Arches National Park along the Corona Arch trail. The trailhead is along the Potash Road west of Moab, Utah. This type of arch is called a pothole arch. It was formed when a pothole on the ledge above gradually merged with an alcove in the rock face below through the actions of water and debris. It is a fairly common type of arch.

This free-standing arch is to be found along the Corona Arch trail to the west of Moab, Utah, and off the Potash Road. It is a three mile hike, out and back, but with a couple of difficult sections that require some careful climbing.

I had trouble identifying this one, but believe it to be a Collared Lizard, Crotaphytus collaris. It was photographed along the Potash Road near Moab, Utah.
