- Arches National Park is located on the Colorado River in southern Utah
- Established in 1971
- Covers 76,359 acres
- The rocks cover salt beds. However, the salt is less dense and evaporates, thus leaving the domes and arches.
- 700,000 visitors per year come to hike around the arches
- The arches are made of red sandstone that is 150 million years old
- These arches often collapse, but new arches form to take their place
- Home to over 2,000 arches, the largest concentration of arches in the nation
- The park is open year-round, but the fall and spring are the best to visit
- The Landscape Arch is the longest arch at Arches National Park, 306 feet across
Your provided information is sufficient for the visitors who have no idea about the attractions. I have been there before my boston washington bus tours with my college friends. Biking camping, touring and the hiking is the main activities that every visitors can enjoy it. A great way to enjoy a Plant and the animals species.
