Kolob Arch spans an impressive 287 feet, making it one of the longest natural arches globally, second only to Landscape Arch in Arches National Park.
The viewpoint is most accessible in late spring through early fall when the weather is mild and trails are clear.
The arch is situated in the Kolob Canyons area, which is often quieter than the main canyon, offering a more serene experience.
Visitors must embark on a 14-mile round-trip hike through the scenic La Verkin Creek Trail to view the arch up close.
Before more accurate measurements were taken, Kolob Arch was believed to surpass all others in size.
The arch is estimated to be millions of years old, formed by the natural erosion of Navajo Sandstone.
The Kolob Canyons section is a protected wilderness area, ensuring the preservation of its natural beauty and biodiversity.
