This “natural arch” was built in 1862 by Calvert Vaux; the
co-designer (with Federick Law Olmsed) of Central Park. A casual
observer will note that this impressive archway was intended to
look somewhat natural – with boulders pushed together – and less
brick and mortar (which is used as a hidden support).
The cache is near the famous Dakota apartment building. The
Dakota is where Beatles legend John Lennon lived with his wife Yoko
Ono before he was shot outside of the building on December 8, 1980.
The cache is also near Strawberry Fields, the much visited John
Lennon “Imagine” Memorial.
Bring a geocaching pal if you search at night. This spot is
close to a busy street, but feels quite remote after dark.
Finally, let your geocaching conversation echo across what is
the longest and darkest arch in the Park:
RIFTSTONE ARCH
Enjoy!
Congrats to EVF for FTF!

Not hard to find, nut will have you looking in a few places and has moderate foot traffic this time of year. Was with another geocacher, but I never did get their name. ;>
