Arches Ntl Park - Park Avenue - Prince's Plume - May 18, 2010



Arches National Park is located in Utah, near the town of Moab. It is home to over 2,000 natural sandstone arches and many other unusual rock formations, such as fins, spires and balanced rocks. The arches in the park range from the smallest (to be considered an 'arch', the opening has to have a span of at least 3 feet), to the longest, Landscape Arch, which has a span of 306 feet from base to base, making it the longest arch in the world.
