Chinese Arch

The Chinese Arch is a natural limestone arch located in the Golden Spike National Historic Site, near Corinne, Utah. It was named in recognition of the Chinese laborers who worked on the transcontinental railroad in the 1860s. The arch was created by the erosion of ancient Lake Bonneville's waves against the fault-fractured rocks of the Oquirrh Formation. The site is part of the Promontory Trail Auto Tour Route and is a memorial to the Chinese workers who demonstrated strength and stamina during the construction and maintenance of the transcontinental railroad. The area is also home to other historical markers and features, including the Last Spike Site and Victorian-era replica locomotives. The Chinese Arch is a kid-friendly and pet-friendly location, with picnic-worthy scenery and a small parking lot nearby. However, visitors should be cautious of rattlesnakes in the area
