\nthis time, I’m visiting the Big South Fork, North-East of the state. they are several natural arches and bridges I wanted to discover…
\n
\nthe first I visited were Twin Arches, two arches only about hundred yards one from the other on the same ridge, easy to access by a nice forest road. the morining I was there and even it doesn’t seem on the pictures, temp was 16\u00b0..!
\n
\n
\n1) The South arch, the largest one : about 95 feets high and 135 wide.

\n2) The North arch is smaller but thiner.

\nthen I followed the trail to the Slave Falls, thin waterfall jumbing from a overhanging cliff.

\n
\nOn the way back, I discussed with a ranger – the only person I saw during three days- and he adviced me two other arches in the area, one over. The first one is just called Natural Bridge and is very thin in the middle. I had to climb a little to go down to it.

\n
\nThe seconde one is over the Picket Lake. Not easy to find a nice spot to shoot it without walking in the watter, what I refused to do since the cold temp, 26\u00b0 at that time. \ud83d\ude09
