Nature
Corona Arch is a natural sandstone arch near Moab in eastern Utah, in a side canyon of the Colorado River and reached by the 1.5-mile trail from Utah State Route 279. In the same rock formation as Pinto Arch and Bowtie Arch, it was formerly called Little Rainbow Bridge and became one of the better-known arches in the Moab area because of its short approach and striking slickrock setting. It also became known for rope swings launched from its apex, a practice that drew concern after a Utah man died there on March 24, 2013, and helped lead to a temporary ban in 2015. In March 2025, it also served as a backdrop for public-lands protest projections.
