“They all let go after a while”

I guess it is true. Unfortunately this time as many times in the past the one that let go was an icon in one of our great National Parks, Wall Arch in Arches N.P..

Through out my many times exploring in the park I can remember days of looking up through this majestic arch and knowing that one day it would be gone. But I took time and nature for granted and now the arch is no more.

While this is a common occurrence it should illustrate to all of us how valuable our time is. This arch created from millions of years of geologic occurrences and weathering has fallen prey to the elements that created it. Wall Arch was the 12th largest in the park spanning 71 feet wide and 33.5 feet high.

According to the National Park Service the last such collape of a major arch was back in 1991 with the collapse of Landscape Arch.

For those of you that dream of sandstone beauty and amazing geologic formations go now and see them for yourself for all arches will one day follow in both Wall and Landscape arches steps!!
