A sandstone arch in a side canyon of the Colorado River.
Corona Arch is a natural sandstone arch west of Moab, in Grand County, Utah, in a side canyon of the Colorado River. It used to be known as Little Rainbow Bridge.
It sits in the same rock formation as Pinto Arch and Bowtie Arch. The Corona Arch Trail, 1.5 miles (2.4 km) long, starts at Utah State Route 279, also called Potash Road.
Rope swings, a ban and a message projected on the rock.
Videos of rope swings from the top of the arch spread online and drew more people to jump. In March 2013 a man from Utah died after misjudging the distance to the ground before a swing. After much discussion, a temporary ban on rope-swinging from many arches was put in place in 2015.
In March 2025 an advocacy group, Keep Public Lands in Public Hands, used projectors to display huge messages on the arch, about 100 feet high and 40 feet wide, to oppose plans to loosen protections on public lands.
