In Arches National Park there are over two
thousand natural sandstone arches, including Delicate Arch which is recognized,
known and love around the world,
Geology abounds here. In some areas, faulting
has exposed millions of years of geologic history.There are balanced rocks,
fins and pinnacles, and colors beyond your imagination that highlight
and contrast the textures.
The "forces of nature" -- deposition, erosion and more -- have
created the landscape of Arches National Park, which contains the greatest
density of natural arches in the world.
Millions of years of deposition, erosion
and other geologic events are visible -- its the story
of Arches National Park that teaches us about the earth.
This is red rock country, where wind and water
have created more than 200 known sandstone arches of varying sizes and
dimensions. Most astounding of these is the fragile-looking, ribbonlike
291-foot span of Landscape Arch. A great assemblage of towers, spires,
pinnacles, and balanced rocks complete a beautiful desert landscape.
