boasting one of the world's greatest densities of natural arches. Over 2,000 cataloged arches range in size from a three-foot opening, the minimum considered an arch, to the longest, Landscape Arch, measuring 306 feet base to base.
Today new arches are being formed and old ones destroyed. Erosion and weathering
work slowly but relentlessly, creating dynamic landforms that gradually change through time.Delicate Arch (photo left, top), stands on the brink of a canyon, with the dramatic La Sal Mountains as a backdrop.
Sand Dune Arch (middle photo) is exposed to the sun for a short time each day. This arch is surrounded by a very sandy floor. It is a short 5 minute walk from the parking lot but in the sandy soil it is a bit difficult.
The bottom photo is one of the arches in the Double Arch Area. The largest opening is 144 by 112 feet, a scale that is hard to imagine unless you stand underneath the arch. The other opening is smaller, 61 by 86 feet.
There are more photos of arches below this blog. The scenery in Arches National Park was to say the least.....spectacular!!! Each bend in the road brings more and more sights.
I have many more photos but can only put a few here for you to see...
That is all for today.... Candy
