Fig. 1A sandstone prow over autumn hardwood
A sandstone gorge country of natural arches, cliffline, and hardwood hollows. More arches than anywhere in the East.
Auxier Ridge and Chimney Top are the overlooks. The arches — Sky Bridge, Gray’s Arch — hide in the trees. Autumn is the season the sandstone takes the light.
