Cool Formations Everywhere You Look
The national park lies atop an underground evaporite layer or salt
bed, which is the main cause of the formation of the arches,
spires, balanced rocks, sandstone fins, and eroded monoliths in
the area. The forces of nature have acted in concert to create the
landscape of Arches, which contains the greatest density of
natural arches in the world - over 2,000. Throughout the park,
rock layers reveal millions of years of deposition, erosion and
other geologic events. The area gets about 10 inches of rain a
year.
