Description
Landscape Arch is the longest of the many natural rock arches located in Arches National Park, Utah, United States.
The arch is among many in the Devils Garden area in the north of the park. Landscape Arch was named by Frank Beckwith who explored the area in the winter of 1933–1934 as the leader of an Arches National Monument scientific expedition.
The Natural Arch and Bridge Society (NABS) considers Landscape Arch the fifth longest natural arch in the world, after four arches in China. The span of Landscape Arch was measured at 290.1 feet in 2004. NABS measured the span of the slightly shorter Kolob Arch in Zion National Park at 287 feet in 2006.
Arches National Park was established April 12, 1929. It lies north of Moab in the state of Utah. Bordered by the Colorado River in the southeast, it’s known as the site of more than 2,000 natural sandstone arches.
