Camp 4 Arch doesn't look like much from
a distance, but upon closer inspection, it turned
out to be respectable in form and size.
Reading the Tourist Guide, you would think
this is a big cave. Really is just a hole in the
rock (9' x 9' floor). There is a window, like
a little house.
This arch is like an angle in the sky.
