Wilson Arch - Moab - #MeetLeAw - BLM Boondocking - Vanlife - Utah - LeAw in the USA //Ep.32
We are living the American dream driving the Historic Route 66 from Chicago to Santa Monica but we are doing some detours to visit some places we like.
In this 32nd episode, we visit Wilson Arch, Moab and boondock for the night near to Arches National Park. Enjoy the ride with us! ;)
Wilson Arch, also known as Wilson's Arch, is a natural sandstone arch in southeastern Utah, United States just off U.S. Route 191 located in San Juan County, 24 miles (39 km) south of Moab. It has a span of 91 feet (28 m) and height of 46 feet (14 m). It is visible from the road to the east where there are turnouts with interpretive signs. The elevation of Wilson Arch is about 6,150 feet (1,870 m).
According to the sign at the pulloff near the arch:
Wilson Arch was named after Joe Wilson, a local pioneer who had a cabin nearby in Dry Valley. This formation is known as Entrada Sandstone. Over time superficial cracks, joints, and folds of these layers were saturated with water. Ice formed in the fissures, melted under extreme desert heat, and winds cleaned out the loose particles. A series of free-standing fins remained. Wind and water attacked these fins until, in some, cementing material gave way and chunks of rock tumbled out. Many damaged fins collapsed like the one to the right of Wilson Arch. Others, with the right degree of hardness survived despite their missing middles like Wilson Arch.
Moab is a city on the southern edge of Grand County in eastern Utah in the western United States. Moab attracts a large number of tourists every year, mostly visitors to the nearby Arches and Canyonlands national parks. The town is a popular base for mountain bikers who ride the extensive network of trails including the Slickrock Trail, and for off-roaders who come for the annual Moab Jeep Safari.
The Biblical name Moab refers to an area of land located on the eastern side of the Jordan River. Some historians believe the city in Utah came to use this name because of William Andrew Peirce, the first postmaster, believing that the biblical Moab and this part of Utah were both the far country. However, others believe the name has Paiute origins, referring to the word moapa, meaning mosquito. Some of the area's early residents attempted to change the city's name, because in the Christian Bible, Moabites are demeaned as incestuous and idolatrous. One petition in 1890 had 59 signatures and requested a name change to Vina. Another effort attempted to change the name to Uvadalia. Both attempts failed.
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is an agency within the United States Department of the Interior that administers more than 247.3 million acres (1,001,000 km2) of public lands in the United States which constitutes one-eighth of the landmass of the country. President Harry S. Truman created the BLM in 1946 by combining two existing agencies: the General Land Office and the Grazing Service. The agency manages the federal government's nearly 700 million acres (2,800,000 km2) of subsurface mineral estate located beneath federal, state and private lands severed from their surface rights by the Homestead Act of 1862. Most BLM public lands are located in these 12 western states: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming.
The mission of the BLM is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of the public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. Originally BLM holdings were described as land nobody wanted because homesteaders had passed them by.
All the same, ranchers hold nearly 18,000 permits and leases for livestock grazing on 155 million acres (630,000 km2) of BLM public lands. The agency manages 221 wilderness areas, 27 national monuments and some 636 other protected areas as part of the National Landscape Conservation System--now known as the National Conservation Lands, totaling about 36 million acres (150,000 km2). In addition the National Conservation Lands include nearly 2,400 miles of Wild and Scenic Rivers, and nearly 6,000 miles of National Scenic and Historic Trails.

Wilson Arch, Moab, UT in 4k
As you pull up to Wilson Arch, also known as Wilson's Arch. You notice that it is a natural sandstone arch in southeastern Utah , just off U.S. Route 191 located, 24 miles south of Moab. It has a span of 91 feet and 46 feet tall. It is visible from the road as you can see. Plenty of parking on both sides of the road.
A little background, Wilson Arch was named after Joe Wilson. He was a local pioneer who had a cabin nearby in Dry Valley. Over time in the sandstone formed superficial cracks, joints, and folds of these layers were saturated with water.
With cold winter nights Ice formed in the fissures, than would melt under extreme daytime desert heat would dry it out. Then the winds would cleaned out the loose dry particles left from the frizzing cycle. A series of free-standing fins remained. Wind and water attacked these fins until, all the cementing material gave way and chunks of rocks tumbled out and down the hill. Many damaged fins collapsed like the one to the right of Wilson Arch. Others, with the right degree of hardness survived despite their missing middles like what you see with Wilson Arch.
Experts clam during the Jurassic period sometime between 180 and 140 million years ago was formed. The dark reddish color of the Sandstone comes mainly from the mineral hematite that's an iron oxide, and a principal ore of iron.
This type of Sandstone is found in Wyoming, Colorado, northwest New Mexico, northeast Arizona and southeast Utah.

Was here at the wrong time of day, but it was early in the day of an 867 mile drive for me with stops planned in Moab, the Valley of the Gods, Monument Valley and the Grand Canyon – so no time to wait for the right light. This 3 minute video is a combination of stills and aerial videos with special effects.
