A rare limestone natural arch (possibly a former cave passage or natural bridge) standing high in Lexington Canyon on the remote south side of Great Basin National Park. The arch is carved from carbonate rock rather than the sandstone typical of most Western arches, and flowstone at the opening supports a cave-origin interpretation.
