Sunset Arch -- Escalante Area, UT

Description

Sunset Arch dramatically emerges from the desert sands south of Escalante, Utah, formed from Navajo sandstone that has been strengthened and stained dark by iron and manganese oxides. A popular subject for photographers, Sunset Arch is one of several significant spans in the area, which was formerly protected as part of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument (BLM).
