Edding's Smith- Art Enthusiast

Ms. Edding’s Smith was a true artist in her time. Her home was filled with paintings, sketches, and drawing that were designed by her. Recently, Ms.Eddings requested canvases and paints be brought to her room for her to start a new project. It is truly amazing to see that no matter the dementia or her age, she can still create beautiful works of art.

Arches

Double O Arch

The second largest arch within the Devils Garden area. As the name implies, there are two arches here, one large, with a
span of 71 feet, stacked atop a much smaller arch with a 21-foot span. It was formed by downward water erosion from atop the sandstone, rather than from side-to-side water erosion.
