Moab Lions Club:
When Arches National Monument was first established, it consisted of two small separate sections, 1,920 acres in the Windows and 2,600 acres in the Devils Garden. There were no roads and access was difficult. It soon became apparent that such a monument would be difficult to manage and Moab community leaders began actively promoting efforts to enlarge the monument. In particular, .... members of the Moab Lions Club were ardent supporters of the monument and were instrumental in getting the monument enlarged in 1938. |
