Exit78 Photo of the Day #69
Landscape Arch is considered to be the fifth longest natural arch in the world, by the Natural Arch and Bridge Society (NABS), having measured the span in 2004 at 290.1 feet (88.4 m) ±0.8 feet (0.24 m). Because of rockfalls from this structure in the 1990s, a trail that passed under the arch was closed. The viewing point is reached via an easy 0.8 mi (1.3 km) graded gravel trail, though the walk may be considerably longer from where one is parked as this is one of the most popular sites in the park.
