Elephant Head Rock
Folder: Atlas Obscura
Another natural feature on public land in the Nevada desert, with no interpretive signs or entry fees. It’s nonetheless surprisingly big to be so little known. Although the arch occurs in the (misnamed) Lava Beds, it’s in fact in fractured, weathered granite, which forms all the bedrock in the area.

Elephant Head Rock
An extraordinary natural arch in heavily jointed, cavernous weathering granite. The insets show a couple of different views, one showing more of the surroundings, and the other a silhouette taken from the other side. Pershing County, Nevada. Anywhere else this would be a park with interpretive signs and entry fees; here it's just out in the middle of nowhere, accessible only by Jeep roads.
