Double Arch Details
The Double Arch consists of two large arches that share a common leg, creating an extraordinary sight. This formation is notable for being the tallest arch in the park and for its formation process, which differs from others. It was formed by downward erosion from rain rather than horizontal erosion from wind, which can be observed in the erosive patterns. Located in the Windows Section, the area is rich with fascinating stone formations. The trail leading to Double Arch is flat and sandy, making it accessible for a leisurely exploration.
