One of Utah’s most beautiful geological features has collapsed

Summary

Nutrition label

70% Informative

The Double Arch was formed within 190-million-year-old Navajo sandstone by rain and wind erosion.

The cause of the collapse is currently unclear, though the NPS believes it was likely caused by wind and rain erosion, which has caused fragments of the stone to chip and break off.

The geological feature was certainly one of the most well-known of the many arches in the Lake Powell area.
