Description
This is Landscape Arch and the surrounding hillside at Arches National Park in Utah. The Natural Arch and Bridge Society (NABS) considers the Landscape Arch to be the longest natural arch in the world, having measured the span in 2004 at 290.1. Since 1991, three slabs of sandstone measuring 30, 47, and 70 feet (9.1, 14, and 21 m) long have fallen from the thinnest section of Landscape Arch, prompting the Park Service to close the trail that once passed beneath it. (Wikipedia)
Arches National Park, Utah. preserves over 2,000 natural sandstone arches, as well as many other unusual rock formations. In some areas, the forces of nature have exposed millions of years of geologic history. The features of the park create a landscape of contrasting colors, landforms and textures that is unlike any other in the world.
