Photograph of the Pacific Coast Highway passing under the Arch Rock in Santa Monica, [s.d.]. The large craggy rock is at center, and in the middle of it is an arch-shaped opening. A narrow dirt road makes its way through this opening as it winds its way along the coast. Tire tracks mark the paths that wheeled vehicles have made beneath the rocks. The Ringe family destroyed the arch in 1906 so they could move heavy equipment through the area.
