Template:Short description Template:Infobox landform Grosvenor Arch is a unique sandstone double arch located within Grand Staircase–Escalante National Monument in southern Kane County, Utah, United States. It is named to honor Gilbert Hovey Grosvenor (1875–1966), a president of the National Geographic Society, publishers of the National Geographic Magazine.[1]

Located in northern Kane County, it is close to and south of Kodachrome Basin State Park and is accessed from the north or south via Cottonwood Canyon Road, a dirt road that traverses Cottonwood Canyon in the western portion of the national monument.[2]

The site is well maintained and has an outhouse restroom and cement benches. There is a concrete sidewalk that goes almost to the base of the arch which is handicap accessible.[3]
