by @drewtrush // Grosvenor Arch is located in Grand Staircase- Escalante National Monument. Orginally named Butler Arch, it was renamed in 1947 by members of a National Geographic Expedition to one of the last unexplored regions in the U.S. at the time, the Desert Southwest. Gilbert Grosvenor was the first full time editor of National Geographic Magazine. It is a unique double arch standing almost 150 above the desert floor. Well worth the drive. ••••• Grand Staircase-Escalante is just one of the National Monuments that has come under review by the Trump administration.
