Arches National Park in Moab Utah has the world’s largest concentration of natural stone arches. Landscape Arch, located in the Devil’s Garden area of the park, is one of the “must see” arches. The opening is 306 feet, making it the largest natural arch in the world. A nine story building could easily fit beneath its span. In 1991 a seventy-three foot slab of rock fell from the arch and twice in 1995, first a forty-seven foot and then a thirty foot slab fell. It measures six feet at its thinnest point. Due to the fragile state of the arch, the loop trail that went under the arch is now closed but you can still access the arch from the Devil’s Garden Loop Trail. |
