Wayjam Arch

McCreary County · Cumberland Plateau

Looks like a towering leaner against the cliff, however inside it looks more fluid. Without a more professional eye on the structure it's possible this could be a false arch. What makes me think it's not a true arch is how the layers of sandstone on each side of the structure don't really match up if it were a contiinuous rock with a massive hole in it . Has several boulders in the opening.
