	NABS - The Dimensions of Kolob Arch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)

		Kolob Arch in Zion National Park, Utah, is classified as an adult alcove natural arch within the standard taxonomy published by the Natural Arch and Bridge Society.
		These two features of Kolob Arch, the redistribution of much of its weight horizontally into the cliff to the north and the support lent to it by the "ledge", are also responsible for another important characteristic of the arch — its size.
