Arches National Park

Arches National Park, located near Moab, Utah, in the mid-western United States, is noted for its concentration of natural arches - about 2,000 have been located in the park's area.

The area was designated as a national park in 1971. Previously, it had been a national monument since 1929.

Among the notable features of the park are:

• Delicate Arch, a lone-standing arch which has become a symbol of Utah
• Balanced Rock, a large balancing rock
• Double Arch[?], two arches located close to each other
• Landscape arch, a very thin, long arch
