Inscription. These arches were part of S.H. Wooodruff’s resort hotel — the Dana Point Inn. The stock market crash and the Great Depression halted construction, ending his dream. Part of the foundation, the hand poured concrete arches remain as a local landmark. Remnants of a 1920's rock path are visible from the bridge crossing the canyon.
