Granite Arch is an impressive natural rock formation created by the weathering of the park’s massive granite outcrops. The arch forms where large granite blocks have eroded and shifted over time, leaving a curved opening beneath the rock. As you pass underneath the formation and look at the surrounding boulders, you get a true appreciation for the scale of the slow geological processes that have shaped the unique granite landscape of Girraween.
