This is the longest natural arch in the world. I haven't been there for a few years, but it isn't expected to remain in this condition much longer. The moisture and freeze/thaw cycles have taken their toll, and you can see how thin it is, on the right side. Afraid I don't recall the length of the span, but it is magnificent. It's worth a trip to Utah, for this park, alone, but Utah boasts some of the best NP's and scenic drives in the U.S. Canyonlands, Monument Valley, Btyce, Zion, Flaming Gorge, and Capitol Reef, to name a few.

Amazing ... beautiful colors you captured here & I love the natural framing of the arch. I have been to several parks in Utah ... one of my favorite scenic area's. A very nice presentation Doug.

I was watching a show on Tv the other night about this arch. They showed comparison photos from today and a few years ago. Amazing how much it had changed and also quite sad. One shot actually showed part of it falling.I will certainly add this to my favorites because as you say it won't be around much longer. Excellent shot!
