Those who have visited Arches National Park in Utah and headed out to hike to Delicate Arch very likely crossed this bridge, which heads out from the Wolfe Ranch.

The Wolfe Ranch, of course, was built in the early 1900s by John Wesley Wolfe.

As the National Park Service tells it, "in 1898, a nagging leg injury from the Civil War prompted 69-year-old John Wesley Wolfe to leave his wife and three of his children in Etna, Ohio, and seek a drier climate. He brought his oldest son, Fred, with him, and the two settled a 100+-acre property along Salt Wash, just north of the village of Moab and close to a fresh water spring."
