What is the World Arch Database?
Commonly known as the “WAD” in arch hunting circles, the World Arch Database is the premier site for information on natural arches and bridges worldwide. Whether you’re a photographer, hiker, mountain biker, paddler, boater or just about any other kind of outdoor enthusiast, the WAD will help you to know which arches are the best ones to visit or photograph within your area of interest!
While other web sites dedicated to natural arches are great fun and have lots of information and photos of arches, none of them are comprehensive. Nor is the data they contain searchable and useful for outdoor enthusiasts. The WAD contains data on over 14,000 arches and bridges worldwide and is continuously checked and updated by arch hunting experts. And it works on PCs, Macs, tablets and most smartphones!
Using the WAD, you can:
- search for arches by the arch's name or by the name of a location (such as "Arches National Park," "Snow Canyon State Park," "Green Mountain," etc.)
- search for arches within a given area as defined by latitude and longitude, Country, State or County
- search for the most photogenic arches; every serious landscape photographer should have the WAD in his or her tool box!
- create a .GPX file from the results page for uploading into your GPS unit or your favorite mapping software! The WAD is much more reliable than user-defined mapping sites such as Google Earth.
