Spanning an impressive 290 feet, Landscape Arch is the longest natural arch in North America and one of the longest in the world.
The arch's name reflects its sweeping, landscape-like appearance, resembling a natural bridge sculpted by erosion over millions of years.
Landscape Arch is located within Arches National Park, which is home to over 2,000 natural stone arches.
In 1991, a large rock slab fell from the arch, prompting the park to close the trail that once passed directly beneath it for safety reasons.
Geologists study the arch to understand the processes of erosion and weathering that continue to shape it.
The arch is estimated to be over 65 million years old, formed by the gradual erosion of Entrada Sandstone.
Its delicate and slender structure makes it a favorite subject for photographers, especially during sunrise and sunset.
