Southern Utah is home to one of the world’s most fascinating and most recognizable national parks. Arches National Park is located near Moab and stretches over 76,000 acres. Its uniqueness lies in its name.
Housing over 2,000 natural sandstone arches, it was originally recognized in 1929 as a national monument. It was not dubbed a national park until 1979, thanks to President Richard Nixon.
The park contains some of the country’s most amazing natural wonders—mammoth rocks and arches formed from erosion. Perhaps one of the most important facts about Arches is that the park is constantly evolving. In the past 18 years, two major collapses have occurred: A major piece of Landscape Arch in 1991, and Wall Arch in 2008. Both serve as reminders that these structures will not last forever—all the more reason to visit soon.
