Arches National Park

Text on Card: America's National Parks, Monuments & Memorials
Arches National Park
A portion of the land was set aside in 1929 as Arches National Monument, and then declared a national park in 1971. In Arches, the forces of nature have, over an immense span of time, created a wondrous landscape. Folds and warps lead to graceful spans arching against the sky, enormous rocks balanced on thin spires, standing rock fins, and cliff walls hundreds of feet high

This is an amazing view. I want to see it with my own eyes!
