Description
Joseph Hickman was a Utah legislator and early proponent of setting aside the land along the Waterpocket Fold. On July 20, 1925, Wayne (County) Wonderland State Park was dedicated, but the celebration for Hickman was short lived, as he died two days later in a boating accident.
Hickman's brother-in-law and fellow Utah state legislator, Ephraim Porter (port) Pectol, continued lobbying for further protection of the area, and in 1937, Capitol Reef was designated a National Monument, with this feature, then called Broad Arch, renamed in Hickman's honor. The bridge is 125' tall and spans 133', and is a great hike with relatively easy access for all visitors to Capitol Reef National Park.
