Iconic Arches of Utah

Arches National Park in eastern Utah contains over 2,000 natural sandstone arches and unique geological formations. This collection highlights the Windows Section, where the North and South Windows form massive openings in a single sandstone fin. It also includes the 128-foot tall Balanced Rock and the massive Double Arch, which spans 144 feet across. These landmarks, shaped by millions of years of erosion and salt bed movement, showcase the park's distinct red rock landscape near Moab.
