Arches Ntl Park - Double Arch - May 18, 2010


Arches Ntl Park - Double Arch, originally uploaded by kimberzy.

Double Arch - The hike to this pair of arches is a very easy 1/2 mile round trip along a relatively flat trail.

This set of arches is one of the more prominent features in the park, due to its unusual formation. It is a pothole arch, which is formed by water erosion from above rather than the more usual erosion from the side. This area was used as the backdrop for the opening scene of Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade.
