Skyline Arch
Natural rock arch in Moab, Utah, US
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Skyline Arch is a large natural arch located in Arches National Park near Moab, Utah, named because of its positioning on the horizon.[2] The arch itself is one of the more popular landmarks in Arches National Park, visible from many areas of the park.[3] A large boulder fell out of Skyline Arch in 1940, increasing the size of the opening by roughly half. Boulders from the collapse remain, and can be seen below the arch today.[4]
