Driving down Highway 50, a sign on a dirt road said: Lexington Arch, 12.5 miles.
So we took it. It was a nice off-road ride, with a small parking lot at the end..
and a sign that showed a "1.5 mile walk" to the Arch. Boots, water, food bars..
and a long upwards climb later, we found the arch. Turns out to be the only, or at least one of the few limestone arches (others are sandstone), the top view
is looking through the arch, back towards the truck (it's way WAY down there).
The bottom view is coming up on it from the trail..

On the Utah side of Baker Arizona, it's technically part of the Great Basin National Park.

That's really cool. It's clearly Nevada, but where? I took several long trips down Highway 50 when I lived in Reno, but don't remember seeing the sign you mention.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
