Arches National Park located near Moab Utah, contains the world’s largest concentration of natural sandstone arches. Within the 76,518 acres there are over 2,000 arches. Water, ice, extreme temperatures and an underground salt movement are responsible for the spires, arches, balanced rocks, sandstone fins and eroded monoliths that stand alone on flat desert terrain. In order to be considered an arch the openings have to measure three feet in any direction. Hiking the Devil’s Garden Trailhead will take you past Pine Tree Arch. |
