Arches Ntl Park - Skyline Arch - May 18, 2010

Arches Ntl Park - Skyline Arch (5), originally uploaded by kimberzy.

The hike to this arch is a very easy .4 mile round trip walk along a pretty flat trail. On a night in November 1940, a large chunk fell out of the arch, which doubled the size of the opening. As you can see in the photo, a large pile of rocks lies at the base of the arch - perhaps pieces of the old arch.

The Skyline Arch opening has a span of 71 feet.
