Description

Outcrop Arch Backside in Potter Canyon New Mexico by Debra Martz
I love the finds on backroads and when I was told there was a brochure to some of the more unknown Arches it was game on. We had a full day to explore but discovered that was not enough time but we did find more than half a dozen arches and saw some wonderful countryside scenery. This is Outcrop Arch from what I'll refer to as the back side since we approached it from the opposite side from where we had left our truck. It's my opinion that you can't just take photographs from the front side...you need to take the extra effort and climb a little and work your way around to the other side whenever possible...the view becomes completely different.

To reach 3 arches in Potter Canyon you take US 550 north of Aztec toward Durango, Co, make a right on NM 173, travel 5.6 miles and turn right on a dirt road. After 1/2 mile, park at a gas well and search out in 3 different directions for 3 arches. We found Pillar and Outcrop arches but could not see nor find a hint of a trail to Alien Arch!
