We reported to a ranger and showed a picture of a visitor taking rocks from the park. I was so happy to have the ranger there to protect the park. We need the rangers presence in our parks to protect us and the park. Anytime I had trouble with my vehicle they were there to help.
Sincerely,
Arches National Park
With more than 2,000 natural stone arches, this landmark park offers more of these distinctive rock formations than anywhere else in the world. Wind and water, extreme temperatures, and a shifting underground salt bed sculpted the red rock over time into the area's spectacular and often delicate shapes. These arches can be large and impressive like the famous Delicate Arch, or just slivers in the sandstone.
State(s): Utah
Established: 1929
