Turret Arch Details
Turret Arch is a relatively young and small yet rapidly evolving feature. Set in a castle-like fin, it's unique for having a secondary, smaller arch adjacent to the main one. These two arches are expected to eventually merge, forming a larger arch. A popular, easy hike in the Windows Section includes Turret Arch along with North and South Windows Arches, offering a scenic and level excursion of about half an hour. The arch is also visible from the road, making it accessible for those looking for a brief but memorable visit.
