A few of my famous landmarks

The Arches National Park holds over 2,000 arches and is 73,234 acres of land, that not only hold the beautiful Arches I have mentioned but are home to fins, towers, ribs, balancing rocks and so on. So here are some of my favorite landmarks of my national park. 

The Most Famous Delicate Arch

  The delicate arch is easily the most sought out landmark in the national park, and that is for various reasons. Delicate Arch is formed from Entrada Sandstone, along with many other arches in the park, but this one is particularly most popular because of its location. The original sandstone fin was worn away by erosion leaving this beautiful arch.  

Balancing Rock

This balancing rock is another historic landmark that stands 128 ft. high with the balancing rock rising 55 ft. above the base. This beautifully balanced rock can be seen from the parks main road. 

Landscape Arch

    Landscape Arch is the longest Arch in the park and it is in the area known as the Devils Garden in the North Region of the Park. It is also known as the longest natural arch in the world.  

Double Arch

 The Double Arch is a pair of Arches that is connected and although the Double Arch looks similar to all of the other arch's we have discussed it was formed differently. This arch is an example of the pothole arch and is formed from water erosion above the rock rather than the water erosion from the side of the rock.   

The Three Gossips

The Three Gossips is a sandstone tower that is 350 ft. at its tallest tower. The tower has three very distinctive and flat surfaces including the North, Middle and the South. Usually people hike these sandstones in good weather conditions. 

Fiery Furnace

  Another recreational activity within the National Park is the fiery furnace that withholds many simple details and delicacies that wouldn't be noticed by the naked eye therefore a tour guide has to guide you through the hike. The narrow and towering sandstone walls make it a difficult hike but definitely do not make it impossible to tackle.  

Devils Garden

 Devils Garden features a series of rick fins that have broken out of the Earth due to erosion making a beautiful sight. Along the 7 mile trail there are various arches including the Tunnel Arch, Pine Tree Arch, and Landscape Arch that is featured above.

 The Arches National Park is not only a huge landmark for the state of Utah, but is sought out by people from all over near and far. Its arches are spectacular to the point of disbelief, and it has many wonders that are screaming to be explored.
