Kirk Arch Salt Creek Canyonlands Utah

Kirk Arch is just one of the many arches found in the Needles District of CanyonLands National Monument, Utah. The Kirk's Cabin Complex was built by homesteader Rensselaer Lee Kirk circa 1890 in what would become Canyonlands National Park in Utah. 

Kirk was a small rancher who built a log cabin and two corrals at the location, but was unable to make a living there and abandoned the ranch after a few years. Since that time the location was used by cowboys whose herds were grazing in the area, until the late 1960s when the national park was established.

Kirk's Cabin Complex is situated 1 mile southeast of Kirk Arch
