If this: Highline Trail re: Rio Arriba County. This trail runs from Polvadera Peak to Chicoma Mountain (Rio Arriba's Highest) ...and is in the JEMEZ MOUNTAINS..NOT the San Juan. It refers to Abiquiu lots..so I assume it is. More infor in July or August when we'll be exploring it!...

Not sure if this is a arch.  Someone will have to hike/rock climb to varify.  This feature can be seen from the parking lot at the end of the road in the quality fishing area below Navajo Dam NM.  Drive beyond Cottonwood campground to the end of the road, Simon Canyon is on your left when entering the parking lot.  The arch is on the skyline on the far side of Simon Canyon....
