Landscape Arch

Landscape Arch, one of the largest archs on the planet, stretches 3 feet longer than Zion National Park’s Kolob Arch. Though visitors can't walk directly under it due to its fragility, Devil's Garden Primative Trail Loop leads to a perfect viewpoint framed by the blue sky. Over the centuries, large pieces of the arch, some the size of cars, have fallen off. Getting here early is best, as this is a popular feature, and the lookout points can get crowded during peak hours of peak seasons.

Landscape Arch is the longest of the many natural rock arches located in the Arches National Park in Utah, United States. The arch is among many in the area known as Devil's Garden in the north area of the park. It was named by Frank Beckwith, leader of the Arches National Monument Scientific Expedition, who explored the area in the winter of 1933–1934, and can be reached by short walk/hike of about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) along a maintained trail.

It is the fifth longest natural arch in the world, having measured the span in 2004 at 290.1 feet (88.4 m). Since 1991, three slabs of sandstone measuring 30, 47, and 70 feet (9.1, 14, and 21 m) long have fallen from the thinnest section of Landscape Arch, prompting the Park Service to close the trail that once passed beneath it.

The trail starts at Devils Garden, the last parking lot of the road that leads through the national park. Until Landscape Arch, the trail is well developed and has only very few slopes. The path offers great views and interesting rock formations.
