Arches National Park
Utah, May 3, 2008

| Arches National Park lies atop an underground salt bed called the Paradox Formation which is responsible for the arches, spires, balanced rocks, fins and eroded monoliths common throughout the park. Water and ice, extreme temperatures and underground salt are responsible for the sculptured rock scenery. Thousands of feet thick in places, the Paradox Formation was deposited over 300 million years ago when seas flowed into the region and eventually evaporated. | ||
