Pillar Arch

Azrael Arch Complex - Arch 4

Laurel County · Cumberland Plateau

It's hard to get a real idea of how many arches there are here. There's a lower pillar with a rockshelter and inside the rockshelter is another pillar and a smaller pillar, potentially too small. Above on the cliff is unique opening with an "s" type formation across the entrance making at the least 2 more arches. For now we are going to go with 4 arches total. Looks like it would require climbing into the upper complex to get a real idea of the geology.
