Arches National ParkDescriptionArches National Park preserves more than two thousand natural sandstone arches. These fantastic rock formations look as if they were sculpted by an artist's hand. Towers, domes, balanced rocks, and arches have been formed over millions of years due to weathering and erosion. The process continues and constantly reshapes this unique rock garden. Exploring the Arches National Park is a great adventure. Let your own imagination run wild among these mysterious formations. Watch the rainbow of colors deepen and explode with the long rays of the setting sun, and gaze at the moonlight glistening on the tall sandstone cliffs.
